The tournament features the top six teams from the LCK regular season. The first and second rounds will be hosted at the LoL Park LCK Arena in Jongno-gu, Seoul. In the first round, the 5th and 6th place teams clash, with the victor moving on to face the 4th place team in the second round. Only the final survivor of these opening rounds will advance to the 3rd through 5th rounds to compete for the MSI spots.

The two teams destined for MSI will be determined at the Wonju DB Promy Arena in Gangwon Province. On Friday, June 12, the 1st and 2nd place teams from the regular season face off, with the winner securing the LCK’s 1st seed. On Saturday, June 13, the 3rd place team takes on the winner from the 2nd round of the selection tournament. The survivor of that bout then faces the loser of the 1st seed decider on Sunday, June 14, in a final match to claim the 2nd seed.
