#KOREAN LOL WORLDS UPDATE#
"After considering all possible options, we concluded that moving Worlds to Europe provided the best opportunity for the most teams and their best players to compete." Needham's update confirmed an earlier report on Tuesday afternoon by Upcomer's Tyler Erzberger. After Korea embraced LoL and got really really good at it, Riot decided it was time to take Worlds to the region, hosting the 2014 World Championship in Korea, even going to a World Cup stadium. Last years competition saw Finlands Serral topple the proud Korean representatives on their home turf, a precursor to his ultimate triumph at the 2018 WCS Global Finals. This year's World Championship was planned to be held in China, with various stages being held in Shanghai, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Shenzhen-who would have also hosed the finals. Eight players from Koreas GSL and eight players from the WCS Circuit will compete for over 100,000,000 Korean Won in prize money. The tournament welcomes 24 teams from all regions of the game in a months-long race for the Summoner's Cup. "It extremely difficult to guarantee that qualifying teams and their best players would be able to attend Worlds this year," John Needham, Riot's global head of esports, said in a video published on Tuesday evening. The 2021 World Championship is the crowning event of League of Legends esports for the year. Korea has produced three semifinalists for the primary time in 5 years. South Koreas SK Telecom T1 currently holds the highest record of wins, with three.

#KOREAN LOL WORLDS PROFESSIONAL#
Hailed as a Korean superteam, KT Rolster is packed with some of the best talent on the planet. The League of Legends World Championship ('LoL Worlds' for short) is the annual professional League of Legends world championship tournament operated by Riot Games. The two Western groups Mad Lions of Europe and Cloud9 from the US each misplaced within the quarterfinals and had been knocked out by Korean groups in clear sweeps. KT Rolster finally quelled their demons and silenced the critics by winning the 2018 LCK Summer Split and qualifying for Worlds 2018 as Korea’s first seed. The tournament, in which Korea's top four teams will compete, was originally planned to travel across five Chinese cities. The Korean second seed will face Chinese first seed Edward Gaming within the semifinals on Sunday night. Riot Games has announced the League of Legends 2021 World Championship will be relocating from China to Europe.
