Since its launch in 2018 as the European Masters, and its rebranding to EMEA Masters in 2023 to include a wider region, this tournament has become a key platform for rising esports stars. Many well-known players began their careers here, making it a vital stepping stone to elite competitions.

Event Format

The competition features teams from 13 national and regional leagues, including France’s LFL, Spain’s Superliga, DACH’s Prime League, Poland/Baltics’ Rift Legends, and the Arabian League representing MENA.
