2022 League of Legends World Championship

The 2022 League of Legends World Championship was an esports tournament for the multiplayer online battle arena video game League of Legends. It was the twelfth iteration of the League of Legends World Championship, an annual international tournament organized by the game's developer, Riot Games. The tournament was held from September 29 to November 5 in Mexico and the United States.[2] Twenty-four teams from 11 regions qualified for the tournament based on their placement in regional circuits such as those in China, Europe, North America, South Korea, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau/Southeast Asia and Vietnam, with twelve of those teams having to reach the main event via a play-in stage.[3]

On August 29, Riot Games announced and revealed the new Summoner's Cup that would be awarded to the winner of the finals.[4] "Star Walkin'" was announced as the tournament's theme song, performed by Lil Nas X.[5]

DRX won the tournament after defeating T1 3–2 in a close final series.[6] This was the first international title won by DRX, as well as the first by a play-in team. DRX's advance to the finals was widely described by commentators as a Cinderella run. DRX was considered an underdog team, having barely qualified for the tournament as South Korea's final seed, and having been pitted against a number of tournament favorites, including defending world champions Edward Gaming.[7][8][9]

Venues
The finals were played at the Chase Center.

Mexico City, New York City, Atlanta and San Francisco were the four cities chosen to host the tournament.[35] Toronto formerly had been chosen to host the semifinals, but later Riot Games decided to host in Atlanta due to COVID-19 impacting the viability of securing multi-entry visas from Canada to the United States within necessary timelines.[36]

Play-in stage

Play-in groups
  • Date and time: September 29 – October 2.
  • Twelve teams were drawn into two groups with six teams in each group based on their seeding. Two teams from the LEC could not be placed in the same group.
  • Single round robin, all matches were best-of-one.
  • If teams had the same win–loss record, tie-breaker matches were played. A two-way tie was not broken by the results of the head-to-head game those teams played, however the team that won in the head-to-head received side selection in the tiebreaker game.
  • The top team automatically qualified for the main event, while second to fourth-placed teams of each group advanced to the play-in knockouts, and the second-placed team received a bye to match 2. The bottom two teams were eliminated.

Evil Geniuses, LOUD and DetonatioN FocusMe were in a three-way-tie for second place at the end of the group stage. Because placement in the subsequent tiebreaker matches was determined by the combined game time of each team's wins, LOUD was awarded a bye to the second tiebreaker match for having the shortest total game time.
