Regional powerhouses battle for glory in Paris
For the first time, the League of Legends EMEA Masters Summer Split Final will be held live at Paris Games Week in Paris. Taking place on Sunday, 2 November 2025, this event will see the professional LoL competition move onto the main stage at Paris Expo – Porte de Versailles, marking a significant moment in the tournament's history.
The EMEA Masters brings together champions and qualifiers from the 13 EMEA Regional Leagues (ERL), with the top teams facing off in a high-stakes final.

Alongside the EMEA Masters Summer Final on November 2, Paris Games Week 2025 will also host the inaugural League of Legends Game Changers Rising Grand Final on October 30, bringing the first-ever official women's League of Legends competition in EMEA to the live stage.
