The League of Legends EMEA Masters Summer Split Grand final will take place in Paris, France on November 2nd.

This will take place at the Dôme de Paris on the main stage of Paris Games Week.

Paris Games Week will also host the Grand Final of the first-ever women-exclusive LoL Game Changers Rising on October 30th.

This is also surprisingly the first time EMEA Masters will be in Paris, despite Karmine Corp’s passionate fanbase in France.

Although some are unhappy with the timing of this year’s Summer Grand Final as it clashes with the World Championships.

Former MSI winner and current NLC jungler with Nord Esports, Marcin ‘Jankos’ Jankowsk,i pointed out the scheduling issue:

“Why are we having EMEA masters finals during Worlds wtf?”

The Grand Final on November 2nd is the exact same day as the second LoL Worlds semi-final this year.

This is especially problematic for Jankos as he will certainly want to co-stream the international event, but he may have to play with NORD.

Though with Worlds being held in China, time zones might mean that the two series don’t clash too badly.

Tickets are already on sale for the EMEA Masters Summer Split final at €25 (£22) apiece.

While tickets including access to the final and a Paris Games Week day pass are €49 (£42).

The tournament sees the strongest teams from EMEA’s 13 regional leagues compete in a Champions League-esque event.

This includes seeds from the Nordic and UK’s NLC, France’s LFL, Spain’s Superliga, Turkey’s TCL, and MENA’s Arabian League.

UK’s Los Ratones have the chance to complete EMEA Masters three-peat

Los Ratones were created by British Twitch streamer Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont earlier this year to compete in the NLC.

With multiple former-LEC pros, the dominating squad will be favourites on LoL betting sites come the Grand Final in Paris.

Though as LoL’s most-popular co-streamer, Caedrel may have torn alliances with the aforementioned Worlds schedule clash.

Considering Caedrel has now attended multiple international events in person, he may have to draft remotely or rush to China for the Worlds final.

And there is a good chance that Los Ratones will participate in the EMEA Masters summer final.

They became the first UK-registered team to win the tournament this year as Los Ratones won consecutive EMEA Masters.

Now, Caedrel’s team are hoping to complete an impressive three-peat by winning all three EMEA Masters splits in 2025.
