The Esports Foundation (ENF) has confirmed which 16 League of Legends rosters will receive direct invites to the Esports Nations Cup.
The Esports Nations Cup will see countries enter mono-national rosters into big-money tournaments across multiple esports titles.
A total of 112 nations have selected their LoL rosters for the $1.5m tournament, but only 32 teams make the event.
The ENF used a scoring system judging players’ recent results to determine the top 16 teams that received direct invites.
Then another 14 slots will be filled through online regional qualifiers, and the last two places will go to ENC Wildcards.
