The first stand, which will be held for the first time this year, will be held at Roll Park in Jongno-gu, Seoul from March 10 to 16. In addition to LCK (Korea), teams that have won a total of five regional kickoff competitions, including LCP (Asia-Pacific), LTA (America), LPL (China), and LEC (EMEA), will participate to determine the winner of the first international competition.
The first stand has a motto of 'YOURS FOR THE TAKING'. Riot Games reported that it is connected to the Knoxers-themed summoner's canyon, which values strength, meaning to pioneer a new path to victory with his own way of overwhelming force, strong mind, pure creativity and excellent skills.
The LCK/LCP/LTA national team to participate in the competition will be decided on the 23rd, and the LPL/LEC national team will be decided on March 2. In LCK, the ongoing LCK Cup winners qualify for the tournament.
The first stand, in which the top teams in each region are all out, will be held without a holiday for seven days. From March 10-14, it will be played as a single round robin in which all teams compete once in the best-of-three series, and the lowest-ranked team will be eliminated. On the 15th and 16th, the top four teams will compete in a best-of-five single elimination tournament to determine the final winning team. The region to which the team that won the final on the 16th belongs will be given one additional seed right to play from the finals without going through the play-in in the MSI (Midseason Invitational). All matches on the First Stand will be played in the peerless draft, which has been well received since its introduction.
Tickets for the First Stand can be purchased from Interpark tickets, just like LCK matches. Regular tickets can be booked from 2 p.m. on the 11th, and master card holders can purchase them in advance from 2 p.m. on the 10th. Tickets cost 41,000 won on weekdays and 51,000 won on weekends.
