Riot Games has announced that ticket sales for the first international League of Legends event of the year, the First Stand, set to take place at LoL Park in Seoul, will open for presale at 2 PM KST on Monday, February 10, exclusively for Mastercard cardholders. General access will be available starting at 2 PM KST on February 11. Ticket prices range from 41,000 KRW (USD 29.23) on weekday matches to 51,000 KRW (USD 37.23) on weekends.

First Stand's debut

For this inaugural edition of the First Stand, the top team from each of the five major regions (LCK, LPL, LTA, LEC, and LCP) will compete in a Group Stage where all teams will face each other in a Bo3 Hard Fearless Draft format (champions can only be picked once by either team during the series). At the end of this stage, one team will be eliminated, while the remaining four will advance to the Bo5 semifinals. The competition will begin on March 10, and the winning team will secure a second direct spot for their region in the MSI 2025 Bracket Stage, bypassing the Play-Ins.
