EU Masters Tournament Kicks Off With a Bang

Now that the play-in stage is complete, the EU Masters Tournament can begin in earnest as the best amateur and semi-pro teams EU has to offer show off their skills.

With the European League of Legends Championship Series Spring Split finished, many fans are left wanting more action from their region, at least until they can see their favourite teams perform at the Mid-Season Invitational and Rift Rivals 2018. Luckily for everyone, the EU Masters should fill that void nicely, with the best teams from the European Regional Leagues taking part in a massive contest of skill.

While the large majority of teams are from smaller regional leagues, at least one team has quite a few big stars in their line-up. Origen is one of the teams taking part in the tournament, and we’ve already covered exactly why their squad will make for some exciting matches. The remaining teams in the tournament are:

GamersOrigin

Illuminar Gaming

Ad Hoc Gaming

Penguins

Millenium

Team Atlantis

Wind and Rain

Misfits Academy

KlikTech

exceL eSports

EURONICS Gaming

MAD Lions E.C.

SPGeSports

Ninjas in Pyjamas

Movistar Riders

And of course, Origen.

The different pools will allow a much more diverse mix of teams that normally wouldn't see the chance to compete (lolesports.com)

The games themselves are being broadcasted on ESL’s Twitch channel, and will feature more than a few well known LCS casters lending their skills to the event.
