The League of Legends Worlds 2021 finally has a list of teams that will compete for the crown of the best in the world.
It has been a long journey for every region across the world. Every team and player has battled Covid-19 and faced several hardships to make it to this point.
It involved hours of training, scrimming, and practicing to gain a top 3 or top 4 spot in the playoffs and book a berth to the biggest stage that League of Legends has to offer. However, it is finally done, and now, the teams can travel to Europe to begin their preparations for solving the final piece of the puzzle.
The League of Legends Worlds 2021 was supposed to be held in China. However, travel restrictions and visa issues forced Riot Games to shift the venue to Europe.
Teams qualified for League of Legends Worlds 2021
Initially, 24 teams were supposed to take part in the 2021 version of League of Legends Worlds. However, once the venue was shifted to Europe, the two teams from Vietnam had to pull out due to travel restrictions. In fact, the Vietnamese Summer Split 2021 was also canceled, leading to quite an unfortunate situation.
As of now, 22 teams will participate, with 11 making it to the group stages. The rest will have to participate in the play-in stage and thereby qualify for groups for a chance at the ultimate prize.
