The LCK Road to MSI will be held at the Wonju DB Promi Arena on June 12-14. Tickets for the LCK’s Spring Playoffs equivalent will first go on sale on May 20, 8pm KST / 1pm CET.
The LCK Road to MSI will play out at the Wonju DB Promi Arena. The gymnasium has a capacity of 4,600 spectators, a noticeable decrease from the previous year, even though Riot Korea’s benefits are going up. The 2025 Road to MSI went to the Sajik Indoor Gymnasium with a crowd of over 14,000 people.
The roadshow will cover the final three matches of the gauntlet with one set per day. Based on the 2025 schedule, we can expect the following:
| Date | Match | Ticket sales open on |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, June 12, 5pm KST / 10am CEST | First qualification match (Seed #1 vs Seed #2) | Wednesday, May 20, 8pm KST / 1pm CEST |
| Saturday, June 13, 3pm KST / 8am CEST | Third round of the gauntlet (Seed #3 vs gauntlet challenger) | Thursday, May 21, 8pm KST / 1pm CEST |
| Sunday, June 14, 3pm KST / 8am CEST | Second qualification match (Loser of the first qualifier vs gauntlet challenger) | Friday, May 22, 8pm KST / 1pm CEST |
Ticket sales open sequentially rather than each day at once. The prices are as such:

Unlike the other regions, the LCK doesn’t have Spring and Summer Splits. Instead, they have one long season starting in March with the results adding up from First Stand to Worlds. After MSI, the format changes with the teams splitting between the Legend and the Rise groups.
However, since it is a single split, there are no playoffs before the Mid-Season Invitational. Instead, a separate gauntlet determines the LCK representatives, Road to MSI.
Road to MSI grants two ways of qualifying for the Mid-Season Invitational. First, the Seeds #1 and #2 from LCK Rounds 1-2 play one best-of-five, and the winner goes to MSI as Korea’s first seed.
Then, Seeds #3 to #6 play in a King of the Hill gauntlet in three matches. The team that comes out of it faces the loser of the first qualifier. Finally, the winner of that match becomes the LCK’s second seed at MSI. Until then, stay tuned for LCK odds and predictions!
