LCK Road to MSI Heads to Wonju as Tickets Open May 20

The LCK is taking the Road to MSI outside Seoul this year, with the final stage set to be played in Wonju. It is a move that brings one of Korea’s biggest League of Legends events closer to regional fans, and early reactions have been positive.

Wonju is not a regular stop for major esports events, so this shift already gives the tournament a different feel. For fans who usually travel to Seoul for big matches, this is a rare chance to watch top LCK teams compete in a new setting.

Tickets Go Live Soon

Riot confirmed that ticket sales will open on May 20, giving fans a limited window to secure seats for one of the most important stages of the split. With MSI qualification on the line, demand is expected to be high.

The Road to MSI determines which LCK teams will represent the region at the Mid-Season Invitational. With Korea’s recent international success, expectations are once again high for whoever makes it through.

What’s at Stake

The format remains focused and brutal. Only the top teams from the split will make it to this stage, and every series matters. There is no room for slow starts or off days here.

Winning the Road to MSI does more than secure a spot at the international event. It also sets the tone for the rest of the year. LCK teams that perform well here often carry that momentum into MSI and beyond.

Schedule for LCK Road to MSI (Wonju)

Schedule may be subject to change based on official LCK announcements.

A Different Kind of LCK Stage

Moving the event to Wonju adds a fresh layer to the usual LCK atmosphere. It is still the same high-level competition, but in a venue that has not hosted this level of play before.

For players, it is another adjustment. For fans, it is something new. Either way, the focus remains the same. Two teams will earn their place at MSI, and the path to get there runs through Wonju this year.

With tickets opening soon and the schedule locked in, the Road to MSI is starting to take shape.
