New LoL event launches – MSI 2023 Inkshadow, everything you need to know about the upcoming event, including the pass, missions, and new skins.
The champions of Inkshadow and the teams at MSI have more in common than you’d think. Both are willing to put everything on the line to achieve their goals. Both are peerless masters in their craft, forces to be reckoned with. And both have made magical pacts with long-forgotten spirits to amp up their magic and battle the sinister Cabal.
…Okay, so maybe we can’t 100% verify that last one. But you’ll never know until you check out League of Legends’ latest in-and-out-of-game event: MSI 2023 Inkshadow!
SCHEDULE
Start: May 3, 2023 at 1:00 PM (PT)
Event Ends: June 5, 2023 at 11:59 PM (PT)
Event Shop Closes: June 12, 2023 at 1:00 PM (PT)*
Missions will start and stop on the same dates as the Event, but you’ll have until June 12, 2023 at 11:00 AM (PT) to purchase MSI 2023 Inkshadow Tokens or a MSI 2023 Inkshadow Pass!
*ALWAYS CHECK THE IN-GAME SCHEDULE FOR THE MOST ACCURATE INFORMATION.
ESPORTS DROPS
What could be better than tuning in to watch the best of the best duke it out on the world stage at MSI 2023?
How about earning sweet rewards just for tuning in?!
We’ve created a new set of emotes and icons that we’ll be sprinkling to our viewers throughout the event, but remember: you’ll have to be logged in to LoLEsports.com while you’re watching to claim them! Drops can come at any time (especially when you see a Quadrakill, Pentakill, drake steal or Baron steal!), so follow our instructions at our Esports Watch Missions page to make sure you don’t miss a moment—or a drop!
MSI 2023 Inkshadow Pass & Pass Bundles
POWER UP THE MSI 2023 PRIZE POOL
You watched your team slug it out in the spring split, clawing their way to a spot in the 2023 Mid-Seasonal Invitational one kill, one baron, one Nexus at a time. Now you have an opportunity to show your support and get sweet rewards at the same time, because 25% of the proceeds for the Inkshadow Event Pass and Inkshadow Yasuo will go to the MSI prize pool and teams!
If that’s not enough for you superfans out there, don’t worry—grab the MSI 2023 Esports Premium Bundle, and that number jumps to 50%! Because sometimes it’s nice to be able to show your support without entering a dire, tattoo-based pact with an ancient spirit.
THE PASS AND PASS BUNDLES
It’s time to join the fray!
While MSI 2023 Inkshadow’s missions are open to all, those looking to really stick it to the Cabal should consider grabbing the MSI 2023 Inkshadow Pass for 1650 RP, which will instantly unlock 200 Tokens and 4 MSI 2023 Inkshadow Orbs at Milestone 0 and grant access to additional premium MSI 2023 Inkshadow Pass rewards.
We’re also offering a MSI 2023 Inkshadow Pass Bundle for 2650 RP, which includes all the items mentioned above plus Yasuo, his new Inkshadow Yasuo skin, and the Inkshadow Yasuo Border Icon & border.
What’s that? Your team made it to MSI this year and you’re looking to celebrate? Then consider grabbing the MSI 2023 Esports Premium Bundle for 3650 RP, which will get you all the content mentioned above PLUS the exclusive Inkshadow Yasuo (DEFY MSI 2023) Chroma AND an exclusive Yasuo emote: VICTORY!
Event Pass progress will end with the event on June 5, 2023 at 11:59 PM (PT). You can purchase both the Event Pass and the Bundle to claim your earned premium rewards until June 12, 2023 at 11:00 AM (PT), and you must spend your Tokens by June 12, 2023 at 1:00 PM (PT)!
MSI 2023 INKSHADOW PASS REWARDS
MSI 2023 Inkshadow comes with its own Event Pass and Shop. You’ll start progressing through the pass without lifting a finger the moment the event begins, but only the bolded rewards written in red will be yours for free. You’ll have to buy the pass to claim any other rewards you unlock!
Each Milestone takes 400 LoL Event XP to unlock.

Looking to pick up Prestige Inkshadow Yasuo? Well, put away that calculator, because you’ll hit 2000 total Event Tokens at milestone 50 of the premium pass—exactly how much it’ll take to get the winter MSI 2023 Inkshadow blade master on your side!
If the Mythic Essence Bundle is more your speed, then aim for 2200 total Event Tokens at milestone 60.
MISSION OBJECTIVE POINTS AND PROGRESSION
Some matches you have enough on your plate without worrying about ticking off a mission objective. That’s why most of our missions can be completed simply by playing games!
MSI 2023 INKSHADOW MISSIONS
These missions can be completed to earn LoL Event XP, which will then progress you through the Pass Track, unlocking all your event rewards! Due to the fact that this event is slightly shorter than our standard Events, we packed in some extra Mission XP to make sure you earn rewards and progress through the Pass Milestones with the same amount of effort as usual.
INFINITE PASS MISSION
In addition to the missions below, you’ll also get 200 LoL Event XP for every 200 points you earn from time spent playing and winning games. Whether the final screen says “Victory” or “Defeat,” you win just by queueing up.
MSI 2023 INKSHADOW MISSIONS
