While the veterans compete and try to reach the peak of the competitive League of Legends scene in regional leagues such as the LEC, LCS, and LCK, the next generation of talents try to prove themselves through the amateur leagues.
In Europe, that time has come again with the launch of the 2022 European Masters Spring tournament. It features the best teams from the 11 European amateur leagues, which will battle it out to become champions and garner the attention of the European scene.
With a peak of over 370,000 concurrent viewers reached during the 2021 EU Masters Spring tournament, and a viewership that is still growing each year, the stakes will be high for the participating teams. But there are four teams that have yet to qualify for the Main Event through the Play-In stage.
The 2022 EU Masters Spring Play-In have started on April 4 at 10am CT, and has lasted three days. It began with a group phase and featured a double round-robin format.
All games were best-of-ones, while the Knockout stage featured best-of-three series. Eight teams advanced to that stage and each winner of the series advanced to the EU Masters Main Event.
LFL’s Karmine Corp and Vitality Bee, Prime League’s Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition, and NLC’s Bifrost were the teams to qualify for the Main Event. The groups have yet to be revealed.
