The 2024 Mid-Season Invitational was the ninth Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), a Riot Games-organised tournament for League of Legends, a multiplayer online battle arena video game. The tournament was hosted in Chengdu, China, from May 1 to 19, 2024. All stages of the tournament were played at the Chengdu Financial City Performing Arts Center.
JD Gaming from China were the defending champions, but failed to qualify for the event after losing to Top Esports in the lower bracket final of the 2024 LPL Spring Playoffs.
The event was won by Gen.G of South Korea after defeating the previous years' finalist, Bilibili Gaming of China, in the final with a score of 3–1. Gen.G became the second Korean team (after T1) to win an MSI title, and their win marked the first time a non-LPL (Chinese) team has won the event after three consecutive years of prior Chinese winners.
Format
Eight of the twelve teams started in the play-in stage, with the second seeds from the League of Legends Pro League (LPL), League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC), and League Championship Series (LCS) facing the top seeds from Liga Latinoamérica (LLA), Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends (CBLOL), Vietnam Championship Series (VCS), and Pacific Championship Series (PCS). The play-in stage is split into two double-elimination brackets, where each match is in a best-of-three format. The top four teams from the play-in stage advance to the bracket stage, where they will face off against the top seeds from the LCS, LEC, LCK, and LPL. This stage will consist of four matches, each being a best-of-five series, forming a double-elimination bracket.
For the first time, the winner of the MSI will automatically qualify for the 2024 World Championship, provided that they qualify for the playoffs during the 2024 Summer Split in their respective domestic league.
Qualified teams
A total of twelve teams have qualified for the event. The LPL, LCK, LEC and LCS have two teams each represented in event, with one team from each league qualifying directly to the bracket stage. The remaining four teams have qualified for the play-in stage, along with one team each from the PCS, VCS, LLA, and CBLOL.
