League of Legends Worlds Championship 2021 is right around the corner, and Riot Games has finally decided on the venue and schedule for the upcoming international competition.
Though the competition was supposed to be held in Shanghai as a multi-city tour with the finals being held in Shenzhen, Riot had to shift the venue at the last moment to Europe, because of the complications surrounding the COVID-19 Delta variant.
Europe was where Riot hosted the League of Legends Mid Season Invitational this year, making it the next obvious choice after China.
24 teams were scheduled to participate in the event. Unfortunately, the Vietnamese teams might miss out on it due to visa problems, and only 22 teams will be there when the competition kicks off on the 5th of October.
