The first Legends of Runeterra EU Creators Invitational yesterday showcased 24 of the best players in Europe and reiterated how diverse the open beta meta is.

We’re now six weeks into the LoR open beta and the metagame remains wide open. The Shadow Isles and Ionia regions are likely the strongest so far and may receive nerfs in the upcoming patch. But they weren’t the only regions played during yesterday’s EU Creators Invitational, organized by AFK Creators.

Out of the 72 submitted decks, 13 archetypes were represented, with Ionia and Feljord as the most chosen. But not a single archetype was played in abundance, revealing a diverse meta at the EU Creators Invitational.
