The 2025 First Stand Tournament marks a significant milestone as the inaugural cross-regional competition in the 2025 annual League of Legends (LoL). First Stand is envisioned as the "third international 'pillar' event" within the season when the main events will include both MSI and Worlds. This thrilling tournament will comprise five teams of elite standing, each one coming through the fact that they qualify based on their rankings in their respective regional competitions after the first split. First Stand 2025 will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and will be happening in March of 2025.
