The 2025 League of Legends esports season ignites with the inaugural First Stand Tournament, the first international tournament of the year.
This high-stakes competition showcases top regional teams vying for the First Stand trophy and crucial seeding advantages at the Mid-Season Invitational.
First Stand Tournament 2025 theme
The First Stand Tournament 2025 theme is “Yours for the taking.”
“Forge a new path to victory; whether it be through brute force, elite mental, sheer creativity or deft mechanics. This is your chance to find the joy of invention and show the world, and yourself, what you’ve got,” Riot Games explained.
First Stand tournament dates and schedule
First Stand Tournament 2025 takes place from March 10-16 at LoL Park in Seoul, Korea.
The First Stand tournament unfolds in two phases.
Round-robin stage
Teams first clash in a round-robin stage, each playing every other team in a best-of-three (Bo3) series.
To maintain impartiality, the side selection for the first game of each series is randomly assigned beforehand. This ensures a balanced distribution, granting each team side selection priority in two of their series, while leaving the other two to chance, Riot explained.
