Gentle Mates are the latest team to join the competitive lineup at the Red Bull League of Its Own, an exclusive League of Legends tournament set to take place in Paris, France, this December.

The event, scheduled for Dec. 15 at the Accor Arena, will feature a roster of world-class teams, including G2, NNO Old, and Karmine Corp, all vying to challenge the renowned T1 squad led by Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok. Fans can expect unexpected matchups and innovative rule twists that promise to deliver a unique esports experience.

Europe has long been a force in competitive League of Legends, with organizations like G2 and Karmine Corp building storied legacies in both domestic leagues and international tournaments. The rising prominence of teams such as NNO Old and Gentle Mates reflects the region’s growing depth, as more talent competes at the highest level. The inclusion of Faker’s T1 adds another layer of prestige, offering European challengers the chance to test their mettle against one of the most iconic figures in esports history.

Red Bull League of Its Own aims to showcase the best of European League of Legends talent. Last year’s tournament saw T1 emerge victorious, defeating teams like Karmine Corp, Team Heretics, NNO Old, BIG, and Eintracht Spandau, before falling to G2 in the finals held at Berlin’s Velodrom. This year, the addition of Gentle Mates introduces fresh competition and new dynamics to the tournament.

The event is anticipated to draw 15,000 fans to the Accor Arena and will be live-streamed globally on Twitch and YouTube, allowing viewers worldwide to witness the intense battles. AGON by AOC returns as the official monitor partner, with Opel and Backforce also supporting the event.
