Save the date: Sunday, November 2, 2025 – Dôme de Paris
For the first time in its history, the EMEA Masters Summer Split Final will take place on the main stage of Paris Games Week, at the Dôme de Paris, on Sunday, November 2, 2025.
As a true launchpad for emerging League of Legends talent across the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), the competition will take center stage at one of the biggest gaming events in France—an internationally renowned showcase—for a final between the two best teams of the circuit.
In a country famous for its passionate esports community, this event promises to be a major highlight for hardcore fans and curious newcomers alike, all coming together to cheer on the top regional teams in EMEA.
EMEA MASTERS: WHERE FUTURE LEGENDS ARE FORGED
The EMEA Masters bring together the top teams from 13 regional leagues across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, including the LFL (France), Superliga (Spain), Prime League (DACH), Rift Legends (Poland/Baltics), and Arabian League (MENA), among others.
This thrilling tournament—widely regarded as the second-highest competitive tier of League of Legends in the EMEA region—unfolds across three key stages each year: Winter, Spring, and Summer.
More than just a competition, the EMEA Masters are an incubator for rising stars, where the next big names in the scene first make their mark.
Notable stories include the meteoric rise of French team Karmine Corp, and more recently, the explosive debut of UK champions Los Ratones.
Over the years, many standout players from EMEA Masters have gone on to shine on the biggest stages of professional League of Legends. In the past season alone, players like Parus, JNX, SkewMond, Naak Nako, Czajek, Caliste, and 113 made the leap to the LEC (League of Legends EMEA Championship).
The 2025 season will reach its epic conclusion in Paris, crowning yet another generation of top-tier talent in front of a roaring crowd.
RIVALRIES AND A POTENTIAL TRIPLE CROWN FOR LOS RATONES
Intense rivalries define this competition, captivating a growing audience each year. Since the start of the season last March, all eyes have been on the British team Los Ratones, led by former professional player turned successful coach Caedrel, who has racked up multiple titles. While EMEA teams such as Barça eSports, Ici Japon Corp. Esport, and Team Phantasma have made it to the podium in earlier splits this year, none have yet managed to dethrone Los Ratones. Will any team be able to put an end to their dominance during the upcoming Summer Split? Find out on Sunday, November 2, at the Dôme de Paris during Paris Games Week!

To make it to the grand final stage at Paris Games Week, teams must first navigate a three-phase competitive journey:
- Last Chance Qualifier – a play-in for lower-ranked teams
- Swiss Stage – the top 16 teams from the region advance
- Playoffs – a high-stakes single-elimination bracket that narrows the field to the final two contenders
These final two teams will battle it out live on stage at the Dôme de Paris, concluding the Summer Split with a spectacular showdown.

About EMEA Masters
A top-tier competition in the League of Legends ecosystem, the EMEA Masters (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) brings together the best teams from national leagues (ERLs) to compete on a high-stakes international stage. Launched in 2018 as the European Masters (EU Masters), the tournament was renamed EMEA Masters in 2023 following the expansion of the EMEA region and the integration of Turkey, CIS, and MENA regions into a unified competitive ecosystem.
As a true springboard to higher levels of professional play in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, the EMEA Masters offers vital exposure for rising talent while strengthening the competitiveness and visibility of local leagues across the region.
This will be the second time the competition’s final is held in front of a French audience—just like the 2023 EMEA Masters in Montpellier— where fans from across Europe shook the walls of the Sud de France Arena with their passion.
