Worlds 2022 semi-finals moved to Atlanta
Just a couple of hours ago, it became known that Riot Games was moving the venue for the semi-finals of the League of Legends World Championship from Toronto, Canada to Atlanta, Georgia at the State Farm Arena.
This was shared by Riot Games through the official source used for all the latest League of Legends esports news, broadcasts and media: lolesports.com
Why did the place change
Main reason and commentary of LoL esports chief
As the main reason, the organizers of Worlds 2022 indicated that by moving the venue from Toronto to Atlanta, it would be easier for the players and their escort to arrive at the venue on time. And it sounds quite logical, because there are still restrictive measures in connection with COVID-19, and Canada is already a different country.
“We are committed to maintaining our tradition of hosting the Worlds with a multi-city tour despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and look forward to hosting the 2022 Semi-Finals at Atlanta's state-of-the-art State Farm Arena.
This news is certainly disappointing to our fans and partners in Canada, and we want to sincerely thank Toronto, Scotiabank Arena and our community for their understanding. We look forward to hosting a major LoL esports event there in the future, ” said Naz Aletaha, Global Head of LoL Esports, Riot Games.
As a reminder, Worlds 2022 will be a tour across North America, from the Play-In stage in Mexico City, Mexico, through the group stage and quarter-finals in New York, the semi-finals, now in Atlanta, and the final in San Francisco..
