The First Stand Tournament is an international League of Legends event featuring the top team from each of the five major regions, LCK, LPL, LEC, LTA, and LCP, competing between the first and second competitive splits. Only one tournament has been held so far, and it happened in 2025. Five teams battled under the new Fearless Draft format, where once a champion is played by either side, it cannot be picked again during that series
The tournament began with a single roundârobin Group Stage, where each team played every other in a bestâofâthree, and the bottom team was eliminated. The top four advanced to the Knockout Stage, a singleâelimination bracket of bestâofâfive matches, with the region of the champion earning a bye directly into the MSI bracket stage. The League of Legends [1] tournament was received positively, so there’s a good chance that Riot Games may repeat the same general format for the proceeding years.
Hanwha Life Esports won the first-ever First Stand title by defeating Karmine Corp in the grand final. HLE’s journey in the tournament was extremely smooth and showcased the gap in skill between the LCK region and every other region. Champions earned the $300,000 top prize, with runner-up taking $225,000, third–fourth place sharing $172,500 each, and the fifth team receiving $130,000.
