EMEA Masters has revealed that its Summer 2025 Finals will take place at the Paris Games Week on November 2nd.
League of Legends fans can purchase tickets for the event venue, Expo Porte de Versailles, through a dedicated website.
EMEA Masters is an annual tier-two League of Legends esports circuit uniting the top-performing teams from the various European Regional Leagues (ERLs). Originally comprised of two splits, EMEA Masters implemented a three-split format similar to EMEA’s tier-one league, the LEC, ahead of the 2025 season.
The Winter and Spring splits have already concluded in March and June, respectively. Split one saw 16 teams, including Karmine Corp Blue and Los Heretics, compete for a prize pool of €40,000. Meanwhile, the Spring edition featured 32 squads and a €60,000 prize pool. The Summer competition will feature 44 teams.
Both events were dominated by Los Ratones, the team founded by LoL personality Marc Robert ‘Caedrel’ Lamont. The hype around the squad and Caedrel himself has also drawn more attention towards tier-two LoL competitions. With 484,533 peak viewers, the Winter split has become the most-watched EMEA Masters edition in history.
Caedrel’s team currently competes in the NLC Summer 2025, where it aims to finish among the top two to secure its EMEA Masters Summer Swiss Stage slot. A third place at the NLC would only ensure participation in the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).
Team Phantasma and Gamespace MCE have already qualified through the recently concluded Hellenic Leagend League, while fellow Greek contender Team Insidious became the first team in the LCQ.
The remaining 41 teams may qualify through any of the following ERLs:
- LFL Summer
- Prime League Summer
- Superliga Summer
- TCL Summer
- LIT Summer
- Arabian League Summer
- Hitpoint Masters Summer
- Rift Legends Summer
- LPLOL Summer
- EBL Finals
- Road of Legends Finals
EMEA Masters Finals News Met With Concerns
Although an on-stage EMEA Masters final is a major success for the recognition of the tier-two LoL esports scene, some fans have expressed concerns regarding the schedule of the event.
Given EMEA Master’s duration between October and November, matches might overlap with the League of Legends World Championship, the game’s largest tournament of the year.
Worlds has already been confirmed for October 14th until November 9th, and could discourage fans from watching EMEA Masters in case of overlapping match times.
