Legends of Runeterra Masters Europe - Chronicles of Bandlewood Begins This Week

Legends of Runeterra's Europe tournaments return! Last June team Turkey was crowned as champions in Chronicles of Shurima, and now 16 hopeful countries tackle the next iteration of the tournament series after a grueling ladder qualification period. You can find everything you need to know below.

The Teams

The qualification was based on the top 16 ladder players from different nations with each team consisting of three highest ranked players of the country. For the first time, all three players of the qualified countries were required to be at Masters rank. Belarus, Greece, Morocco, and Serbia will debut in the competition while Romania and Norway return after missing out last time. Among the six teams making way for the aforementioned countries are the previous winners Portugal and last competition's runners-up Finland.

  • A specific champion can only be used in two different decks.
  • A maximum of 2 no-Champion decks can be submitted.
