LCL won’t be able to participate due to the Ukraine war, LEC was granted their seed
The LCL slot will be granted to the region that has had the best performance during international events over the past two years, but does not already have 4 team berths: Europe.
LCL (League of Legends Continental League) is the top level of professional League of Legends competition in the Commonwealth of Independent States, organized by Riot Games Russia. It replaced the SLTV StarSeries that was organized by StarLadder in 2016
Earlier this year LCL Spring, due February 12, was cancelled due to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine. As a result LCL could not send a representative to MSI 2022, and now Worlds.
