Hey everyone! Thanks again to those who joined the last AMA and shared your thoughts with us (and for keeping it respectful!). I’ve been going through more of your questions (especially the ones sent to the EUphoria crew) and a lot of you asked why there’s a break week before the #LEC finals in Madrid. The short version: it’s all about logistics. We’re moving a huge amount of gear from Berlin to Spain by truck and Madrid is the furthest trip we’ve had compared to Montpellier, Munich, or Malmö. Yesterday’s match in Berlin was the very last show we could squeeze in before switching gears. Less than 24 hours after FNC vs GX, our trucks are already packed and will hit the road to Madrid tonight. That turnaround is no small feat and takes effort of an entire crew. By Saturday, we’ll already be building the finals stage! Why not rent the equipment in Spain? Because running a show of this scale isn’t plug-and-play. The LEC’s competition setup relies on highly specialized gear and workflows that we’ve fine-tuned over years. We do get support from our local partner for some of the required hardware, though using our own equipment means we can guarantee the same level of quality, reliability, and unforgettable experience fans expect both online and in the arena. So we’re going the extra mile (literally) to bring it all to Madrid. I know break weeks aren’t fun, but we’re gearing up for a can’t-miss weekend in Spain and putting in the work to make sure it’s worth the wait. We will be back on Friday, September 26 at 5PM CEST with a Worlds qualifying match between FNC and KC. See you then!

The action returns on Saturday: Check out the matches for week 2 of #LEC Versus! 🗓️
