Riot Games has finally heard from the League of Legends Community and decided to make some changes to the format for EMEA Masters Summer Split 2024. The updated format will see 60 teams competing for the title. Let’s check out EMEA Masters Summer Split 2024 format.
Slot Distribution
In the new format, all accredited ERLs will receive 6 slots each, where the top 3 from each league will directly qualify for the Swiss Stage while the next 3 will qualify for the Last Chance Qualifiers(LCQ). On the other hand Non-accredited ERLs will get 4 slots each. The number of teams from non-accredited ERLs qualifying into the Swiss Stage and the LCQ stage, will depend on the respective ERLs performance at recent EM events.
Last Chance Qualifiers(LCQ)
With the regional protection applied, the LCQ will start on July 31 and run until August 2. Here the 32 teams will be split randomly in 4 groups. The first two rounds of the LCQ will feature best-of-three matches, while the final round (Round 3) will see teams compete in a best-of-five match to qualify for the Swiss Stage. Only 4 teams from LCQ will move to the Swiss Stage
Swiss Stage
Here the 4 teams qualified from LCQ will meet the directly qualified 28 teams from ERLs. This stage will start on August 5 and run until August 13. During this stage, all teams will try to secure at least 4 wins to qualify for Playoffs. Any team that loses 4 time will automatically be eliminated.
Teams will compete in best-of-one matches until the qualification/elimination matches, then the format will switch to best-of-three matches. From the Swiss Stage, 16 teams will then advance to Playoffs.
Playoffs
Here teams will have no second chances, meaning if you lose even 1 match, you are out. The stage will run from August 15 to August 22. The EMEA Masters Summer Split 2024 Final will be on August 30.
With that being said, this will be an action-packed championship offering entertainment all the way from July 31 to August 30. May the best team win.
