This should help a little at least: https://www.lolesports.com/en_US/articles/worlds-2018-primer
Bjergsen is the mid laner for TeamSoloMid and they have not qualified. So, Bjergsen is not at worlds.
To answer your question straight up: neither team is at Worlds this year
To detail it, both SKT and TSM suffered what are the worst seasons they've had in their entire history. Both struggled in their respective leagues tremendously from their rosters and lack of consistent success. While TSM brought in the formerly titled "Best in the West" bot lane duo in Zven and Mithy, they lost out on something in their former duo that made them the all too familiar effective powerhouse known for years. As for SKT, I can only consider it as much of arrogance to not necessarily bring in more strengths lost from last season making for undoubtedly the most exploitable their weakness as a collective team has ever been.
Coincidentally enough, for both teams they spent their regular seasons middle and lower table only to squeak their way into playoffs. In TSM's case, there were a lot of tiebreakers they racked up only to find themselves blown out by the better teams on the day. SKT's case...well they only have a Spring Split Playoffs run...and it didn't last long.
Fortune played favors on SKT's side as they did have the points to play in the Gauntlet. But both teams ultimately failed to make the miracle runs their seasons oh so needed for Worlds.
Hope that patches it up for you.
