Riot Games, the leading developer and publisher of globally renowned games and esports titles has officially opened the nationwide registration for the open qualifiers round of Liga Republika, the country’s newly launched national League of Legends tournament created by Pinoys for Pinoy players.
Following its recent global announcement about the formation of a brand new LoL Esports Ecosystem set to debut in 2025, Riot Games Philippines is leveraging Liga Republika 2024 as a foundational element to elevate the competitive scene for local grassroots gaming communities and forge a path for Pinoy players to improve their chances of competing in the international stage.

“This is a pivotal time for League of Legends and the gaming community in the country. We are excited for the launch of Liga Republika to reinvigorate Filipino players and the wider League of Legends community. Hot on the heels of our recently announced changes to League esports, our commitment to competitive play is stronger than ever. We are confident that Liga Republika is the right next step to take in improving the competitive League of Legends scene in the Philippines,” said Joel Guzman, Country Manager of Riot Games Philippines.
Last year’s top PH teams Guardian’s Hive and Looking for Sponsor (LFS) dominated the first Kickoff Invitational round of the Liga Republika last May, and qualified for the group stage in August. Also advancing into the group stage are Fantasy Esports and Ninja Alpha.
Liga Republika has since opened the registration for the open qualifiers, which will have four rounds slated on July 13, July 20, July 27, and August 2. Interested participants in the Philippines can form a team of at least five players in order to join and register for the open qualifiers beginning June 3 to June 20. Teams can register for all four rounds of the open qualifiers for increased chances of winning and advancing to the group stage.
With the announcement of the open registration, the league expects a total of 512 teams to compete in the open qualifiers round, where they will battle for one of the 12 slots in the group stage. The teams will be trimmed down to eight (8) in the playoffs, and the tournament will culminate offline in a LAN event in September where the top four (4) finalists will vie for the million-peso prize pool.
