The Esports Nations Cup has unveiled the sixteen national teams that will receive direct invitations to the League of Legends Main Event in Riyadh, running from November 21 to 29. Selection was driven by the newly developed ENC National Team Ranking, which combines the points of the top three players on each submitted national roster, based on placements at official Riot Games competitions up to the June 14 cut-off.
The top eight nations in the ranking are seeded straight into the Group Stage, while those ranked ninth through sixteenth will have to fight their way through the Play-In stage at Riyadh. The remaining sixteen nations completing the 32-team field will earn their spots through the regional online qualifiers (June 19–21) and two wildcard slots.
