Twitch streamer HandOfBlood is about to win the LoL Champions League

earthpressnews

It’s been 5 years since a German team won the “Champions League” of League of Legends, the EMEA Masters. Tonight, April 28th, it could happen a second time. Twitch streamer HandOfBlood seems more excited than ever. LoL expert NoWay calls it a “fever dream.“

What kind of event is this?

  • The “EMEA Masters” is something like the Champions League in LoL: the most successful teams from the regional leagues in Europe compete against each other in a tournament to determine the best “non-LEC team” in Europe.
  • In the last 6 years, the French team Karmine Corp has won 4 times. But they now play in the LEC and are no longer allowed to compete.
  • Ironically, the German team Eintracht Spandau from influencer HandOfBlood made it to the final. Tonight they play in a best-of-5 against Beşiktaş Esports, the team of the Turkish football club Beşiktaş Istanbul.

    A moderate season in LoL can still be a dream

    Why would winning be special? Only once in the history of the tournament has a German team ever won: in 2019 it was BIG, Eintracht Spandau’s city rivals.

    The HandOfBlood team has only been active for a few years, so a win would be a big deal. This would be exactly the thing that HandOfBlood always dreamed of. After two years of mixed success with his team, they seem to have a breakthrough in 2024. You have already become German champion.

    German streamer NoWay4u calls it a “fever dream” on Twitter that Spandau made this run.
