The groups have been drawn and the stage is set for this split’s edition of the biggest competition that European League of Legends has to offer its rising talent.

Europe’s semi-professional scene has always been a vibrant one, due in large part to its ability to harness the same national pride that fans have for, say, their countries’ soccer teams, and inject it into the apex talent showcase that is the Amazon European Masters tournament.

Fans will notice familiar returning faces such as 2020 summer champions AGO ROGUE of the Polish Ultraliga, who are making their eighth straight appearance at the tournament (two as Rogue Esports Club), and one of last split’s two French finalists, LDLC OL.

Iceland-based Dusty are looking to make some noise in their EU Masters debut, hot off their first NLC championship. Team Heretics, who will be joining the LEC next year after buying Misfits Gaming’s franchise slot, are also at EU Masters for the first (and last) time after their own first domestic championship, in which they conquered Spain’s SuperLiga.

Notable absences from this split’s tournament include, most obviously, three-time defending champions Karmine Corp of France’s LFL, Misfits Premier out of the same circuit, as well as regular representatives from the German-Austrian-Swiss Prime League, Berlin International Gaming (BIG).

Here are the scores, group standings, match start times, and more for the EU Masters Summer 2022 tournament.

Group stage

The group stage sorts the 16 participating teams into four groups of four and follows a double round-robin format, with each team playing one best-of-one on blue side and another on red side against every other team in its group. No group can have multiple teams from the same region, nor the same pool, in it. Tiebreakers will be used if necessary to determine the top two teams in each group, who will move on to the quarterfinals.
