This MSI is an international tournament held between the First Stand Tournament and the World Championship. A total of 11 teams will compete, with two teams from each of the five regions and one team from Brazil (CBLOL). The second-seeded teams from the LCK (Korea), LCS (North America), LEC (EMEA), and LCP (Asia-Pacific) will compete in the Play-In Stage from June 28 to July 1. The final surviving team from this stage will advance to the Bracket Stage.

The Bracket Stage will be played in a double-elimination format, with all matches being best-of-five. The Upper Bracket Final will be held on July 9, and the Lower Bracket Final on July 11. The Grand Final will take place on July 12, and the winning team will automatically qualify for the World Championship held in the United States this October. Additionally, the region that produces the runner-up, or the region that secures both first and second place, will be granted an extra slot for the World Championship based on the performance of the team that places third.
