This new format is designed to test a team’s strategy in some of the most intense ways possible. The key to this is in champion selection, where once a champion has been selected it becomes unavailable for both teams for the remainder of the series. <\/p>\n

With each game, players will see 10 “Fearless Bans” added, and the usual 10 bans from the pick\/ban will stay in play. It pushes players to adapt a wider range in the champion pool, and will have teams planning their strategies in new ways right up to Game 5.<\/p>\n

The First Stand tournament will be a brand new introduction for the LoL Esports 2025 calendar.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
