G2 Esports' last minute win over GAM Esports saw the European squad become the final team to qualify for the Playoffs at MSI 2025. With G2 and BLG as the two teams to make it out of Play-Ins, the bracket is now officially set.

The final stage of MSI 2025 begins now! International grudge matches, clashes among titans, and some top-flight League of Legends await. Once all is said and done, who will be the team to secure the second international trophy of the year?
