LoL Worlds 2022 seeding

Since the CIS region (League of Legends Continental League) will not be able to send a representative to Worlds 2022, Riot Games will grant the European league (LEC) a fourth slot.

LEC “has had the best performance during international events over the past two years, but does not already have four team berths” according to an official statement by LoL Esports.
