Riot Games has officially announced that the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2025 will take place in Vancouver, Canada.

Riot Games Announces LoL MSI 2025 Venue
In a recent blog post, Riot Games confirmed that the MSI 2025 venue will be the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. The event is set to run from June 27 to July 12, featuring the top 10 teams from the five major regions. The winning team will not only claim the MSI title but also secure a spot at Worlds 2025.
Located at Hastings Park in Vancouver, the Pacific Coliseum previously hosted the 2017 League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) Spring Finals. With a seating capacity of around 15,000, it offers an electrifying atmosphere for high-stakes LoL Esports matches.
Tickets for MSI 2025 will be available in two waves: March 27 (Wave 1) and May 29 (Wave 2) at 5 PM CET. Mastercard users can access a presale on March 26 and May 28 at the same time.
A Late Start for MSI 2025
This year, MSI will start later than usual due to the addition of a new international tournament, First Stand, which debuted in March in South Korea. The tournament featured top teams from each major region, including Karmine Corp, Hanwha Life Esports (HLE), Top Esports (TES), Team Liquid (TL), and CTBC Flying Oyster (LCP). HLE emerged victorious, claiming the championship and $300,000 from the $1 million prize pool.
With MSI kicking off in late June, online betting opportunities are set to be more competitive than ever. Fans can explore pre-tournament wagers and live betting options on 12BET, taking advantage of evolving odds throughout the event.
Bigger Prize Pools for MSI and Worlds 2025
Global Head of Esports Chris Greeley recently announced that prize pools for international tournaments in 2025 will be significantly larger. MSI 2025 will feature a $2.5 million prize pool, while Worlds 2025 will see a massive $5 million up for grabs.
These increased stakes add another layer of excitement for online betting fans. With more prize money at stake, teams will bring their best performances, making every match a thrilling betting opportunity. 12BET will offer a range of betting markets, from outright winners to individual match outcomes and in-game events.
What This Means for Online Betting
With MSI 2025 confirmed in Vancouver, fans and bettors should start analyzing team performances, regional strengths, and past MSI trends. Online betting sites like 12BET will provide extensive odds on the event, making it essential for bettors to stay updated on roster changes, patch updates, and pre-tournament performances.
The later start to MSI 2025 means teams will have additional preparation time, potentially shifting the competitive landscape. This creates intriguing betting possibilities, as underdogs may have more opportunities to surprise the competition.
