League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational
The annual Mid-Season Invitational will kick off on May 1 as the play-in stage takes place throughout the week, with four teams advancing to the bracket stage for the following week.
As the first international event of the League of Legends season, the world’s best will compete against each other for the first time outside of their regional leagues.
Esports betting sites have very little separating the top three in the “To Win Outright” market, with Bilibil Gaming (+240), Gen.G (+250) and T1 (+300) all given strong chances to claim the 2024 MSI title.
