Worlds Region Spots Ranking
The World Region Spots Ranking is still not finalized for the 2022-23 season. It's a ranking system that ranks the RLCS regions according to the points won by their respective regions' teams from previous RLCS Majors.
This means the regional invite quotas are flexible. The better their achievements in the Majors, the more the number of spots their region will have at the main event.
At the end of the 2022-23 season, we will witness two North American teams, four European teams, one South American team and one Middle Eastern team in the group stage of the RLCS World Championship
