The 2024 Mid-Season Invitational was the ninth Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), a Riot Games-organised tournament for League of Legends, a multiplayer online battle arena video game. The tournament was hosted in Chengdu, China, from May 1 to 19, 2024. All stages of the tournament were played at the Chengdu Financial City Performing Arts Center [zh].

JD Gaming from China were the defending champions, but failed to qualify for the event after losing to Top Esports in the lower bracket final of the 2024 LPL Spring Playoffs.[2]

The event was won by Gen.G of South Korea after defeating the previous years' finalist, Bilibili Gaming of China, in the final with a score of 3–1.[3] Gen.G became the second Korean team (after T1) to win an MSI title, and their win marked the first time a non-LPL (Chinese) team has won the event after three consecutive years of prior Chinese winners.[a][5][6]
