Riot Games Philippines announces Wild Rounds: Pilipinas Open 2025 for League of Legends: Wild Rift, featuring a ₱1.5M prize pool, nationwide tournaments, and 5th anniversary events.
Riot Games Philippines has officially announced the return of Wild Rounds: Pilipinas Open for 2025, reigniting the competitive fire for League of Legends: Wild Rift players across the country. The highly anticipated grassroots mobile esports tournament is making a comeback with an even greater prize pool of ₱1.5 million, along with an exciting new tournament roadmap running from the second to the fourth quarter of 2025.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural season, Riot PH is doubling down on its commitment to nurturing the local Wild Rift community. The Pilipinas Open 2025 is more than just a tournament—it's a platform that continues to grow the local esports scene by giving aspiring teams and players nationwide the chance to compete, connect, and elevate their gameplay. This initiative represents a deeper investment in the Filipino gaming culture and cements Riot Games' role in shaping the future of mobile esports in the Philippines.
Joel Guzman, Country Manager of Riot Games Philippines, emphasized the tournament’s role in sustaining the region’s Wild Rift community, stating, “Wild Rounds: Pilipinas Open 2025 is our way of keeping our ever-supportive core communities alive, while bringing Wild Rift even closer to more Filipino players. By aligning with Riot Games’ global calendar and patch updates, we ensure our local tournaments deliver world-class gaming experiences.”
Before the official tournament kicks off, Riot is setting the stage with several community-driven activations under the Wild Rounds Circuit. One of the highlights is Wild Rift Wednesdays, a weekly event series launched in April that features local creators and gaming personalities, giving players opportunities to participate and interact with the broader Wild Rift PH community. These sessions are designed to foster deeper player engagement and maintain weekly excitement around the game.
Riot Games PH is also partnering with Ground Zero Tournament to host a series of grassroots competitions beginning this May. These amateur-level events are tailored to highlight untapped regional talent across the country, allowing local players to showcase their skills in competitive settings that mirror the experience of professional tournaments. These events will run until October and serve as a key part of Riot’s mission to support local esports ecosystems.
Registration for Wild Rounds: Pilipinas Open 2025 officially opened on May 10, inviting all players to sign up for Split 1. Match brackets will be drawn on June 9, with official postings on Wild Rift’s social channels by June 10. Group stage matches are set for June 14–15 (Groups A & B) and June 21–22 (Groups C & D). The top four teams from each group will move on to the Top 16, with brackets revealed on June 25. The Top 16 and Top 8 battles will take place on June 28 and 29, respectively, leading up to an electrifying live finals event scheduled for July 5.
Adding to the excitement, Wild Rounds: Smash returns this year with a brand-new format. This all-star Wild Rift invitational will feature beloved pro teams and popular Filipino influencers, pitting them against top competitors from other regions in a high-energy showcase of skill, strategy, and regional pride.
As Wild Rift celebrates its fifth anniversary in October, Riot Games PH is planning an array of thrilling in-game events, exclusive rewards, and community surprises. These festivities aim to honor the dedication of both veteran players and newcomers who have been part of Wild Rift’s journey in the Philippines—highlighting countless battles fought, friendships formed, and memories created in the Rift.
“This year’s tournament, along with our other exciting lineup of activities for Wild Rift, are a manifestation of our consistent dedication to the community,” said Kimi Salazar, MOBA Brand Manager of Riot Games Philippines. “Our goal is to inspire deeper engagement and unite players, creators, and gaming communities across the country. In true Filipino spirit, we’re inviting everyone again to ‘magpakitang gilas’ at the Rift.”
