League of Legends introduces First Stand, its first international esports event of 2025, set for March 10th-16th at LoL Park in Seoul, South Korea. This event features top teams from LCK, LPL, LTA, LEC, and LCP in a best-of-three (BO3) round-robin stage. Each team will have a side selection advantage in two series, with the bottom team being eliminated. The event then transitions to a best-of-five (BO5) knockout stage, where the winner earns a second bye for their region at MSI 2025. A significant change is the introduction of Fearless Draft, where champions picked in previous games of a series become unavailable, leading to up to 50 champions banned in a full series. This system aims to encourage strategic diversity and adaptability among teams.
