LOL: World Championship comes 2021 back to Europe

The League of Legends World Championship will not take place again this year in China. After the rumors were already circulating for a long time, John Needham, head of the Riot Games Esport Department, said, Via Twitter and confirmed the laying.

The delta variant and the associated travel restrictions make us extremely difficult for us this year to develop the Worlds again in China. Safety for entry to China is not to guarantee qualified teams.

The venues were originally Shanghai, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chengdu and Shenzhen - so China would have been the first country in which the Worlds had taken place twice in a row. Needham continues: We have made a heavy heart's decision to relocate the tournament to Europe.

Official venue not yet known

There, the Worlds finally took place in 2019. At that time, the largest Lol tournament was also divided into several cities and held in Berlin, Madrid and Paris. In the end, Funplus Pheonix won in the final against G2. For 2021, Riot leaves the exact countries and cities still open.

Needham justifies the decision to take the World Cup in Europe through the possibilities given there. A little cryptic, but due to the optimal conditions of the LEC studio in Berlin, Germany is definitely in the race as a venue.

The Worlds are the absolute highlight of the year for each League of Legends enthusiast. Especially in the Asian room, the Moba game enjoys a mad status. The last year's final cracked all records. The victory of Damwon Gaming saw nearly 46 million spectators in the top.

Riot apologized for all fans in China and promised to create appropriate options so that the World Cup can be enjoyable and easily enjoyed by stream. The final should take place on the plan on the 6th of November.
