What happened to VCS?

Unfortunately, Vietnam won’t be participating in Worlds this year due to safety issues regarding COVID-19. Riot had to make adjustments to the Worlds Play-In schedule to accommodate for the sudden change. There will be ten Play-Ins teams separated into two groups of five. Each group will participate in a single-match round-robin format resulting in the first-place teams moving on to the group stage. The last-place team will be eliminated from the series.
