Champions Queue will be played on the same patch as MSI 2023, which means LoL Patch 13.8 and players from all over the world coming to MSI get to be a part of it, as well as invited players from LEC teams, ERL players, as well as any teams from MSI-qualifying leagues that are current bootcamping in the region.

Can You Play Against The Pros In Solo Queue?
You can play against pros in solo queue while they're here staying in EUW, but you're going to have to be the right rank. Players usually get solo queue accounts directly from Riot for such events. These accounts are usually Level 30 Diamond accounts with a high MMR so they can quickly reach Challenger.
So it is advised to play a lot of solo queue the first few days of MSI and you might encounter some of your favorite pro players! Maybe you'll even get to jungle for Faker, or play alongside C9's bot laner Berserker. Within a few days most players will have reached the top tiers of Challenger and Grandmaser already, which means you'll likely not encounter the pros anymore in your games.
