Here is how you can watch MSI 2023
MSI 2023 is starting a couple of hours from now, as League of Legends is getting its first international tournament of the year. This time around, the format has massively changed since we last saw an MSI tournament. The addition of a double-elimination format will have huge benefits for all the players and teams.
There are a total of thirteen teams coming to MSI 2023, and a list of the teams coming to the tournament can be found here. We also did our power rankings for the teams as well. The tournament is set up to be a big one.
