League of Legends MSI 2023 is around the corner, as the Play-ins start less than a week from now. There is a lot of anticipation building for MSI as it’s happening in the UK for the first time. Thirteen teams are gearing up to travel to the UK and perform at the highest level to achieve a trophy.

The list of teams participating in MSI 2023 can be found in this article. Other than that, there are some nice details we already know of for MSI 2023. There will be exclusive Esports drops for the tournament, and Patch 13.8 will be the official version used in the tournament. Milio and Yuumi will be disabled for the duration of MSI 2023 as the former was not enabled in regional playoffs, while Yuumi is fairly new in terms of reworks in Riot’s eyes.

MSI 2023 Groups and Brackets

Play-Ins

With a format revamp, the Play-ins consist of two double-elimination brackets from which three teams will move on to the Brackets stage. Here are the two Groups of MSI 2023 Play-Ins.

Group A

There will be four teams in Group A, and they are as follows.

• Bilibili Gaming (BLG)
• GAM Esports (GAM)
• Golden Guardians (GG)
• Movistar R7 (R7)

With how the format is, the group will be put in a double elimination bracket where the winner qualifies for the MSI 2023 Brackets Stage. For the first matchups, BLG will face R7, while GAM will face GG.

Group B

Like Group A, there will also be four teams in Group B.

• G2 Esports (G2)
