World Star Challengers Invitational: EMEA Qualifier 2026

About the tournament

The 2026 EMEA Qualifier is a League of Legends Tier 2 event tied to the inaugural World Star Challengers Invitational, the new international stage for emerging teams. It serves as one of EMEA’s qualification routes into the 2026 WSCI, which brings together 16 teams from Europe, Asia and the Americas later in September. This qualifier runs as a short playoff bracket over September 13-14, 2026, with two best-of-five series. The reward is a place in the WSCI ecosystem, where the region’s best Tier 2 squads compete for international recognition.
