The First Stand Tournament 2025 is an exciting esports event for League of Legends, organized by Riot Games. Set to take place at LoL Park in Seoul, South Korea, this tournament will showcase top teams from five major leagues.

The tournament will run from March 10 to March 16 and will feature a two-stage format. The competition will begin with a round-robin group stage from March 10 to 14, where teams will compete in a best-of-three format. Following this, the knockout stage will take place, with semifinals on March 15 and finals on March 16, both conducted in a best-of-five format.

The champion of the tournament will earn the title and secure an automatic spot in the bracket stage of the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational. Additionally, the event will introduce Riot’s Fearless Draft, a new format that bans champions used in one game for the remainder of the series. This innovative approach aims to promote strategic diversity and quick adaptation among teams, enhancing gameplay dynamics and providing a fresh experience for players and fans alike.
