Riot Games is changing how its Rising Legends: Monsters Attack regional competition is operating for the 2023 season. The new changes include an adjustment to the prize pool that brings it up to €90,000, new qualification opportunities, and changes to the structure of the event. 21 players will qualify for the finals through a point-based structure that sees them compete in various tournaments throughout May. The top 8 players will compete to gain entry into the Rising Legends finals.
Other changes allow players to qualify through the TFT ranked ladder on League of Legends. Finally, Riot Games has announced that the Superbrawl event will no longer be an option to qualify for the EMEA finals.
