Heroes' Legacy 2025 - Our 8 Qualifiers

Since 1 October, the Appologium has been the scene of titanic clashes, where the best players have challenged each other with courage and determination to secure their place at Heroes' Legacy 2025, which will be held in Marseille on 8 and 9 November.

The battle was relentless until the very last moment. Without further ado, here are the eight finalists who are about to make history:

Congratulations to AFC-MrReGeM, DunkeyKin, DevilChicken, Zenoxh, LoLoMi, Sixel, LKD-EIJI and Junzy!

These eight finalists will compete in front of more than 50,000 fans at Parc Chanot, which has been transformed into a veritable temple of video games for the occasion.

As you know, Heroes' Legacy is much more than just an eSports tournament: it is a unique immersive experience, punctuated by exclusive events, spectacular showcases, exclusive demonstrations, community meetings and interactive stands. We will enjoy two days of pure emotion, discovery and shared fun.

🔹 Deck Locking

All decks of the 8 finalists must be prepared on the qualified players’ accounts.
Decks will be locked on November 7th at 8:00 AM UTC and will remain locked until November 10th, covering the entire duration of the event.
The maximum number of locked decks corresponds to the application’s limit of 11 decks.

Important: 

Each of the 11 decks must have a unique Blast combination — the Level 1, 2, and 3 Blasts cannot be perfectly identical between two different decks.
Any duplicate decks with the same Blast combination will be automatically removed during the locking process, leaving only one deck per unique combination.

Example:
If, at the time of locking, you have one deck using “Fireball 1, Drone 2, and Drone 3” and another deck also using “Fireball 1, Drone 2, and Drone 3”, one of the two decks will be deleted.
However, a deck using “Fireball 1, Drone 2, and Drone 3” and another using “Fireball 1, Fireball 2, and Drone 3” are both allowed, since the Blast combinations differ.

No modifications or edits will be allowed after the locking period until November 10th.
