In a groundbreaking announcement, Riot Games has set the esports world abuzz with its plans for the 2024 League of Legends season.
The much-anticipated Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) is slated to unfold in the vibrant city of Chengdu, China, marking a new chapter in the tournament’s history. This decision underlines Chengdu’s emerging status as a global esports hub, following its successful hosting of major events like the Honor of Kings International Championship 2023 Finals and the Naraka Bladepoint World Championship.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Riot Games has also disclosed the complete European itinerary for the 2024 League of Legends World Championship.
Fans can look forward to the high-stakes Swiss Stage and Play-ins at Berlin’s newly upgraded Riot Games Arena. The journey will then lead to the iconic Adidas Arena in Paris, where the pulse-pounding semi-finals and quarter-finals will unfold. And, in a fitting climax, the grand finale will take center stage in the historic city of London, England.
Adding to the excitement, Riot Games introduces the ‘Hall of Legends’, a Hall of Fame designed to honor the extraordinary talents that have defined the League of Legends landscape.
Though details are sparse, it’s clear that the inaugural inductee, chosen by an independent panel of esports veterans and experts, will receive a unique dual celebration in both the real and virtual worlds.
In a strategic move that intensifies the competitive stakes, Riot Games has announced significant format changes for the MSI.
For the first time, the MSI victor will not only claim the championship title but also secure an automatic berth for their region at Worlds 2024. Additionally, the next best-performing region will be awarded a coveted fourth-seed spot, ensuring an even more intense battle for supremacy.
The League of Legends MSI is scheduled for May 1st-19th, 2024, setting the stage for a thrilling summer of esports.
The momentum will then carry over to the League of Legends World Championship, which promises an electrifying showcase from September 25th to November 2nd. With these announcements, Riot Games reaffirms its commitment to elevating esports to new heights, promising an unforgettable 2024 season for players and fans alike.
