LEC Summer 2022 final will be held live in Malmö
A full three years have passed since the last live European LEC split final. But this LEC Summer 2022 once again pleased us with unexpected news - it will be held live, at Malmö Arena , Malmö, again in Sweden on September 10 and 11!
How did the announcement go?
The organizers with the studios and the fans themselves are immensely excited about the opportunity
“We are very happy to announce that we will be holding our 2022 Summer Final in Malmö, Sweden. This is the first road show we've done outside of our Berlin studio in three years and we can't wait to give the fans an unforgettable experience. We are delighted to be working with the city of Malmö again and look forward to bringing a breathtaking atmosphere to their city.” Maximilian Schmidt, Head of League of Legends Esports EMEA, said.
This was also reported today on lolesports and the LEC split organizers on Twitter, rejoicing that they will finally leave their studio in Berlin, from where the European finals have been broadcast non-stop for the previous three years. The community liked the news very much and in the comments you can see hundreds of questions “When are we here?”.
Malmö and Sweden
What will the final in this city mean?
I think you yourself have already witnessed more than once how this or that final of an esports competition was held somewhere in Sweden. “But why is that?” you ask. I think it's fair to call Sweden the analogue of South Korea in Europe. It was Sweden that was one of the first to take esports seriously, and also created directions in training related to it. But most importantly, according to a 2018 study, Sweden was the 2nd country in Europe in terms of the number of viewers at esports events.
Malmo, on the other hand, is the third largest city in the country and is located directly opposite the capital, only 19 kilometers away, literally in the very South of Sweden, which is very convenient for other Europeans.
Malmö Arena is a 12,500-seat stadium that has hosted everything from hockey matches, national competitions, to concerts by Rihanna, Rammstein and others.
“We are incredibly proud to host the League of Legends European Championship in Malmö. This shows once again that Malmö is a city of events and games to be reckoned with, ” said Mats Schöld, Head of Events at the Leisure, Recreation and Sports Department of the City of Malmö.
