Riot Games has officially announced that Worlds 2025 will take place in China, bringing top-tier esports action back to one of the most passionate and influential regions in the League of Legends scene.
According to Riot, fans can look forward to five weeks of high-stakes gameplay, unforgettable moments, and the crowning of the next world champion. This marks another major step in China’s ongoing influence on global League of Legends esports — a region known for its powerhouse teams and electric atmosphere.
Chinese teams like Bilibili Gaming and Weibo Gaming have made massive waves in recent years, finishing second and third in the last two World Championships. Their only roadblock? Korea’s legendary T1, who remain their fiercest rivals on the international stage.
A Tour Across China – Cities Hosting Worlds 2025
The 2025 World Championship won’t be locked to a single location — it will travel across China in multiple stages:
The 2025 League of Legends World Championship will kick off with 17 teams, each earning their place through fierce regional competition. This year’s structure rewards consistency, international performance, and regional dominance — all leading up to one of the most anticipated tournaments in esports.
Here’s how teams will qualify for Worlds 2025:
While many fans are used to seeing the top-tier regions dominate, it’s important to note that Latin America (LTA) has open qualification slots this year, giving rising regions a chance to shake things up on the global stage.
The championship begins with a single-day, best-of-three showdown between the fourth-seeded teams from the top two MSI-performing regions. Only one will advance to the main event — pressure will be sky-high right from the start.
After the Play-In, 16 teams move into the Swiss Stage — a format where every match counts. Teams need to hit a set number of wins to qualify for playoffs, but racking up too many losses spells elimination.
Each match-up is based on current win-loss records, ensuring dynamic, unpredictable clashes. It’s a high-stakes test of both form and mental fortitude, dramatically reducing the number of contenders.
Only 8 teams will make it to the Playoffs, where the format shifts to single-elimination best-of-five matches. There’s no room for error here — one bad series, and your Worlds journey ends.
A new twist this year: the semifinals will take place immediately after the quarterfinals, with no break in between. Teams will need to stay sharp and adapt fast.
Worlds 2025 will culminate in a high-stakes Grand Final, where two remaining teams will battle for the title of World Champion. All eyes will be on reigning champions T1, the South Korean powerhouse led by the legendary Faker, as they attempt to defend their title against the world’s best.
As Counter-Strike enters the CS2 era, the ecosystem is shifting:

For the first time since its iconic debut in 2011, The International is making its way back to Germany. The very first edition of Dota 2’s biggest event was held in Cologne, during Gamescom, and now, over a decade later, TI returns to the country where it all began.
Since that inaugural tournament, The International has been hosted across the globe — in cities like Seattle, Vancouver, Bucharest, Shanghai, Singapore, and most recently, Copenhagen. Each location has left its mark on the tournament’s legacy, and now, Germany gets a second chapter.
Alongside the location announcement, Valve confirmed that 16 teams will once again qualify for The International 2025 through a combination of:
