League of Legends First Stand 2025 format
The First Stand will consist of two main stages: the Round Robin Stage and the Knockout Stage.
Round Robin Stage
Every team will compete in a Round Robin format from March 10 to March 14, 2025. These teams will play a best-of-three series against every other team, totaling four series per team. Side selections for the first game of two series will be decided randomly, and the remaining two series will not follow this format. The fifth-placed team will be eliminated at the end of this stage, and the top four teams will advance to the Knockout Stage.
Knockout Stage
The Knockout Stage will start March 15 with the semifinals. This stage has a single-elimination bracket, with every match being a best-of-five. The Round Robin standings will determine the placements in the Knockout Stage.
1st place vs 4th place.
2nd place vs 3rd place.
The winners of these matches will compete in the Grand Final on March 16 to determine the champion of the First Stand 2025.
League of Legends fearless draft format
An interesting thing about the tournament is the implementation of the Fearless Draft format. This rule ensures that any champions used in earlier games of a series become unavailable for both teams in later games, adding an extra layer of strategy to team compositions and drafting.
