NLC get three seeds for the first time in Amazon EU Masters
The summer 2022 Amazon EU Masters will see the NLC field three teams for the first time. The region consists of UK and Nordic teams and previously had only two slots in spring. Now, NLC will have its top two teams in the main stage while the third team will qualify for Play-Ins. According to Riot, the changes in slot distribution for this summer’s EU Masters were based on each ERL’s performance from earlier seasons following spring 2022.
NLC teams put on a decent performance in the spring Masters with their two representatives making it to the quarterfinals. However, the league’s summer split has been quite competitive with Dusty, JD|XL, Riddle Esports, Astralis Talent, Bifrost and X7 Esports all vying for the top spots in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Greek Legends League will no longer have a main event spot as their two teams will begin from the Play-Ins.
