Premio
Similar to 2017, the top regions at MSI will secure the top 4 seeds at Worlds Group Stage. Additionally, the highest ranking region of BR, CIS, JPN, LAN, LAS, OCE, SEA, TUR and VN will have their representative team start in the Group Stage. If two regions out of BR, CIS, JPN, LAN, LAS, OCE, SEA, TUR, VN finish top 4 at MSI, both of their representative teams will start in the Group Stage as top seeds, and the Play-In will adjust accordingly, with the worst performing region of CN, EU, KR, or NA having its #2 seed demoted to the Worlds Play-In.
