The Request MoviesLeague of Legends qualifier gauntlets and summer playoffs are over and all 16 teams are set for the 2016 World Championship, which kicks off at the end of September.

Over the past week, top teams from each region competed in single-elimination gauntlets for one last chance to qualify for Worlds. North America's Cloud9, Europe's Splyce, South Korea's Samsung, China's IMay and Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macao's Ahq Esports Club all won their regional gauntlets to qualify.

The remaining two Worlds spots went to Brazil's INTZ Esports and CIS/Russia's Albus NoX Luna, both of whom bested six other teams from around the world in a wildcard tournament.

They joined the nine teams who qualified by winning their summer seasons or by winning enough matches overall to qualify with points. The summer season winners include NA's Team SoloMid, Europe's G2 Esports, South Korea's ROX Tigers, China's Edward Gaming and TW/HK/MO's Flash Wolves.

Following those teams are the teams with the highest accumulated points from the spring and summer seasons in each region: NA's Counter Logic Gaming, Europe's H2K Gaming, South Korea's SK Telecom T1 and China's Royal Never Give Up.

On Sept. 10, the teams will be placed into four different groups where they will face teams from other regions. Each group-of-four will get one team from the four highest-seeded teams, one team from the four lowest-seeded teams and two teams from the middle range.

Group play runs from Sept. 29-Oct. 9 and the top two teams from each group will move onto the single-elimination knockout stage, running from Oct. 13-29.

The 2016 League of LegendsWorlds stages take place in the United States this year, each in a different city. The group stage is in San Francisco, the quarterfinals are in Chicago, the semifinals are in New York City and the finals are in Los Angeles.
