As we are getting closer to the Worlds 2022, Riot shared an update about what we should expect about the organization.
When and Where is Worlds 2022?
After the seasons end in every region, the Worlds will take place. The organization will start on September 29 and end on November 5. We will start in Mexico City with the play-ins, and the finals will take place in San Francisco. Here are all the details of the tournament:
- Play-Ins: September 29-October 4 at the Arena Esports Stadium at Artz Pedregal in Mexico City, Mexico;
- Groups: October 7-10 and October 13-16 at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden in New York City;

- Finals: November 5 at Chase Center in San Francisco, California.
Which Teams Will Participate in Worlds 2022?
From all around the world, there will be 24 teams participating in Worlds 2022. Usually, we see a team from the LCL region but in this Worlds, they won’t be able to send a representative. Europe was the best region of the last 2 years that didn’t have 4 slots so because of that, they will be able to send another team.
Here are the lists of the regions that send teams:
- China (LPL) – 4th Seed
- Korea (LCK) – 4th Seed
- Europe (LEC) – 3rd and 4th Seed
- North America (LCS) – 3rd Seed
- Southeast Asia (PCS) – 2nd Seed
- Vietnam (VCS) – 2nd Seed
- Brazil (CBLOL) – 1st Seed
- Japan (LJL) – 1st Seed
- Latin America (LLA) – 1st Seed
- Oceania (LCO) -1st Seed
- Turkey (TCL) – 1st Seed
As we mentioned, there will be 24 teams in the Worlds 2022. However, not every team will have a chance to show themselves on the group stage. Before we hit the groups, 8 teams will already be eliminated. On the other hand, these seeds will start from the group stage:
- China (LPL) – 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Seeds
- Korea (LCK) – 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Seeds
- Europe (LEC) – 1st and 2nd Seeds
- North America (LCS) – 1st and 2nd Seeds
- Southeast Asia (PCS) – 1st Seed
- Vietnam (VCS) – 1st Seed
That’s all from us for today. We will analyze every team and share a detailed blog about what to expect from the Worlds 2022. For now, you can check our other blogs to see more awesome content!
