The League of Legends Worlds Championship is one of the biggest challenges in terms of logistics for an esports event. COVID-19 threw a wrench into Riot Games’ ability to build on-site events and major productions over the last two years. The company faced restrictions on venue capacity and had to maneuver obstacles in terms of moving people and equipment from one country to another.
The Riot esports team monitored the pandemic in the months leading up to this year’s World Championship. But in August, they realized it was impossible to bring the tournament to China as originally planned. This led Riot to make a risky decision: move Worlds 2021 from China to Iceland in just two months.
