    This prestigious event is part of the global League of Legends esports calendar, sitting alongside the World Championship and Mid-Season Invitational.

    Six top-tier teams from across the world will compete for the coveted spot in the 2025 MSI playoffs.

    The line-up includes Hanwha Life Esports, the 2025 LCK Cup champions from South Korea, Team Liquid from the Americas, CTBC Flying Oyster representing the Pacific, Europe's Karmine Corp, and China's Top Esports.

    The tournament will kick off with a round-robin stage from March 10-14, where each team faces every other team once.

    Following that, the knockout stage will take place on March 15-16, culminating in a thrilling best-of-five series in the final at LoL Park's LCK Arena.

    A key feature of the event is the Fearless Draft system, which prevents teams from selecting champions used in previous games, keeping the competition dynamic.

    In addition, a revamped heads-up display will deliver live updates on buffs, champion information, and statistics, enhancing the viewing experience without disrupting gameplay.

    The victorious team will bypass the preliminary rounds of the 2025 MSI in Canada, gaining direct entry to the playoffs.
