"League of Legends" First Stand 2025 has revealed the complete participating teams, and also announced the schedule and format of the competition.

As the first international competition in 2025, it is of great significance to the participating teams. Teams from the five major regions around the world will compete for the highest glory at the beginning of the season and establish their core position in the season.

Participating Teams:

South Korea: Hanwha Life Esports (HLE)

After months of hard training and intense competition within the region, the participating teams finally had the opportunity to compete with the strongest teams in other regions. This was not only their first appearance on the global stage, but also an important node to verify the results of their training and adjust their tactical direction.

The result of this event will have a profound impact on the development of the entire season. The winner will not only win glory and build a strong momentum, but also establish his or her dominance in the season and accumulate confidence and competitive advantages for the next events.

For teams eager to prove their strength on the international stage, First Stand is the first step for them to announce their strength to the world. At the same time, the performance of the event will also become an important reference indicator for observing the performance of key players in the season, helping fans, commentators and analysts to better predict the development trend of future seasons.

First Stand 2025 will start on March 10 and end on March 16. The tournament will have three rounds of competition, namely the single round-robin knockout stage, the single-elimination knockout stage and the finals stage. All knockout matches will adopt a best-of-five format.

In addition, participating teams also need to abide by the fearless draft and fearless ban mechanism, and teams cannot repeatedly select the same hero in the series. This means that the audience will see more exciting games and more creative lineups than in previous years.
