Riot Games’ global esports division has confirmed that the 2021 League of Legends World Championship will begin in Iceland on Oct. 5. This news comes after last month’s announcement that the tournament was being moved from China to Europe in the wake of complications surrounding COVID-19.
Earlier this year, Riot held League’s Mid-Season Invitational in Iceland. And after that tournament was met with a largely positive response, the company made the conscious decision to hold the entirety of Worlds there as well. Similar to MSI, Worlds will not feature a live audience out of an abundance of caution.
