Europe’s best-emerging talents are fighting for the right to be called EU Masters in the highest-caliber League of Legends competition on the continent below the LEC.
The tournament has been getting increased exposure over the last few years, especially after the depth of Europe’s talent has been showcased on the national and international stage to an unparalleled degree in 2021. Four of the five members of back-to-back LEC champions MAD Lions are EU Masters alumni in Kaiser, Carzzy, Humanoid, and Elyoya (Spring Rookie of the Split), as are Rogue’s Inspired (Summer Split MVP), Trymbi, and Larssen, and Summer Rookie of the Split and Fnatic top laner Adam. By extension, a majority (eight out of 15) of the players representing European teams at the 2021 World Championship were competing in EU Masters within the last six splits (Spring 2019).
The format for the main event is unchanged for this split: 16 teams (including four from the play-in stage) are split into four groups of four, with one team from 안전놀이터 every qualifying pool in each group. Each team plays six best-of-one matches in a double round-robin, after which the top two teams in each group will advance to the knockout stage to face off in a single-elimination bracket. All matches in the knockout stage are best-of-five series. The tournament runs from Aug. 30 to Sept. 19.
Here are the scores, standings, and everything else you need to know about the 2021 EU Masters Summer main event.
