24) Isurus
Isurus last attended Worlds in 2019, where they won games against Hong Kong Attitude and DetonatioN FocusMe. However, the competition is much tougher this time around, and it will be difficult for them to make a miracle run.
23) Istanbul Wildcats
The Wildcats are making their third international appearance in the last two years, but they have struggled, winning only two out of ten matches. It’s unlikely that they will have a strong showing at Worlds.
22) LOUD
Since INTZ’s disappointing performance at Worlds 2020, Brazilian League has been improving. LOUD is the third Brazilian team to compete internationally since then. They have an exciting roster, but it would be surprising to see them finish in the top two of Group A or qualify for the main stage.
21) Beyond Gaming
Beyond Gaming had a difficult time at Worlds 2021 due to a match-fixing scandal involving their mid laner. They will be looking to make amends this year, but they face tough opponents in the play-in stage and will need some upsets to advance.
20) Chiefs Esports Club
Chiefs Esports Club narrowly missed out on the Mid-Season Invitational earlier this year, but they dominated the LCO 2022 Split Two. They are considered the best team from Oceania and have a good chance of making it to the main stage.
19) Saigon Buffalo
Saigon Buffalo impressed at the Mid-Season Invitational this year, reaching the rumble stage. However, the competition from minor regions has increased, and they may struggle to replicate those results. They have a strong bot lane and have resolved their visa issues, so they will be ready to fight.
18) CTBC Flying Oyster
Flying Oyster is a team of veterans from the PCS region who have played spoiler at Worlds before. They have the potential to disrupt the path for other teams and might steal a few victories. They are a dark horse to watch out for.
17) DetonatioN FocusMe
DetonatioN FocusMe have become international veterans in the Japanese League scene. They had a good performance at Worlds last year, finishing first in the play-in groups. They will be looking to prove themselves after a tough run in the main stage and MSI.
16) GAM Esports
GAM Esports have been dominant domestically, winning both the VCS Spring and Summer Splits. They have strong teamfighting and a talented jungler in Levi. Despite not playing internationally recently, they are one of the favorites from their region and could make a deep run at Worlds.
15) MAD Lions
MAD Lions had a strong regular season but struggled in the playoffs. They qualified for Worlds as the fourth seed from Europe. They have shown great early-game performance but need to improve their late-game teamfighting to succeed at Worlds.
14) Fnatic
Fnatic has faced some challenges due to COVID-19, with two players unable to attend Worlds. They have dealt with similar situations in the past and have a talented roster. If they can replicate their performance in the LEC playoffs, they have a chance to make a deep run.
13) Evil Geniuses
Evil Geniuses had a strong spring season and were considered one of the favorites for Worlds. However, their performance declined in the summer season, and they barely secured the third LCS slot. They will be without their AD carry Danny for the play-in stage, but they still have experienced players who can perform on the international stage.
12) 100 Thieves
100 Thieves had a strong regular season and showed potential in the playoffs. They have a talented roster with international experience. They have the ability to turn it on when it matters most and could surprise people at Worlds.
11) DRX

10) G2 Esports
G2 Esports had a strong showing at MSI earlier this year and have been performing well in recent matches. They have momentum heading into Worlds and are considered one of the top teams attending the tournament. They have the potential to make a deep run.
9) Cloud9
Cloud9 have always been a strong team at Worlds, and this year is no different. They have a talented roster, including rookie AD carry Berserker, who has been performing exceptionally well. Cloud9 has the potential to surprise and make a memorable run at the tournament.
8) Rogue
Rogue is coming into Worlds as the LEC champions. They have shown consistency and strength throughout the season. With a strong bot lane and players who have stepped up, Rogue has the potential to make a deep run at Worlds.
7) DWG KIA
DWG KIA is the defending world champion and has a talented roster. They have had a mixed season but have the potential to perform at the highest level. They are a dangerous team that could disrupt the tournament.
6) Royal Never Give Up
Royal Never Give Up had a strong showing at MSI but has slipped in recent months. They barely made it through the regional finals, but they have had time to regroup and prepare for Worlds. Despite their recent struggles, they are still a team to watch out for.
5) T1
T1 had a dominant early season but struggled in the playoffs. They have a strong roster with players who have international experience. If they can play at their best, they have the potential to compete with the top teams at Worlds.
4) Edward Gaming
As the current world champions, EDG had a rough season but showed improvement in the playoffs. They rely heavily on their ADC Viper, who is one of the best in the world. Despite not being the favorites, they have the experience and skill to make a deep run.
3) Top Esports
