LoL Worlds 2024 is coming up fast, and teams are already beginning to qualify for the biggest League of Legends international of the year.
The League of Legends (LoL) World Championship kicks off on September 25, 2024, and it’s the tournament that marks the end of 2024’s LoL competitive calendar.
However, the way that every team qualifies for Worlds 2024 is different, and getting one of 20 slots at the event isn’t easy. There was a chance T1 doesn’t even make it this year.
Additionally, every region has a different number of slots and methods of qualifying in at different stages. Here are all the teams that have qualified for Worlds 2024 and how they got there.
