“This is a historic partnership that speaks to the impact Riot Games and League of Legends has had on the industry over the past nine esports seasons. We welcome the LV brand to our sport and we are eager to share the entire scope of the partnership in the months ahead, in particular on November 10 when the Summoner’s Cup is awarded in Paris.”
League of Legends World Championship
The League of Legends World Championship started on October 2nd with the Play-In Stage. The event finishes on November 10th with the Grand Finals. Berlin, Madrid, and Paris will all host different stages of the tournament. The event will see 24 teams from 13 regional leagues go head-to-head to try and bring the Summoner’s Cup home.
