LoL MSI and Worlds 2025 formats have one glaring problem

Riot released the official formats for the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational and the League of Legends World Championship to prepare fans for what’s to come over the next few months. But there’s one glaring absentee from the tournament formats: Fearless Draft, with Riot evidently doubling down on the decision only to have Split 1 feature the format.

Although some came into the year with cautious optimism about Fearless Draft, fans were quickly on board once they saw the system work, especially in the best-of-fives where 50 champions were put on the chopping block. “If they don’t implement this for the rest of the year and every year – they are hugely missing out,” one fan said in a Reddit thread on Fearless Draft.
