LoL MSI 2024 Event: Empyrean Skins & Everything You Need To Know

For MSI 2024, Riot is bringing back the Empyrean skins that were first introduced in 2022. So, what do we know about this upcoming event?

MSI 2024 is going to be a huge event this year and like with every big esports event, Riot is also going to be releasing an in-client event. For the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational, we're going to be getting some brand-new Empyrean skins, as revealed ahead of time, and a third round of Arena. 

Along with the new skins and Arena, fans can also look forward to the usual battle pass, which will feature a rewards track and tokens with which they can purchase items in the event shop. 

LoL MSI 2024 Event: Start Date

The event is going to start in LoL Patch 14.9. This aligns perfectly with the start of the Mid-Season Invitational, which is taking place in Chengdu, China this year. The event is going to start May 3, 2024. This means that the patch and the event will hit live servers on May 1, 2024 just a few days ahead of the tournament. 

MSI 2024 Event: Pass & Bundle

As Is usual with these events, players will likely be able to buy an event pass, or a bundle, to receive all the rewards in the reward track and not just the few that are free. Of course, Riot has not confirmed this yet, but the event pass and bundle have been the same throughout the last few events so we can confidently say that these are the prices, as well as the instant rewards. 

Why are we saying Kayle is going to be the champion in the MSI bundle? Well, Riot have already revealed the upcoming prestige champions and after Evelynn they named Kayle, so we predict that she will be the next champion to receive a prestige skin. 

MSI 2024 Event Track: Your Free To Play Rewards

There are going to be rewards for playing League of Legends. As you gain more XP while you play you will earn more tokens and rewards. As usual, Riot is going to have some free rewards as well in the rewards track. Since the introduction of this system the free rewards have always been on the same levels: 

• Milestone 2
• Milestone 6
• Milestone 10
• Milestone 12
• Milestone 16
• Milestone 20
• Milestone 22
• Milestone 30
• Milestone 40

It shouldn't be any different with the 2024 MSI event either. Players will receive some free goodies, as well as just enough tokens to purchase one chroma. 

LoL MSI 2024 Rotating Game Mode

Riot is also bringing back Arena to the League of Legends client. This time around, players can queue up with 16 players, meaning 8-teams. Not only that, but there are some brand-new changes to items and how to buy items as well. 

Arena is going to last for 4 months this time, with Riot assessing how it holds up in the long run. If it garners enough consistent attention and players, then it could become a permanent game mode.
