Officially: League of Legends Worlds 2021 to be held in Europe
Yuriy SheremetThe recent rumors about the possible move of Worlds 2021 from China to Europe turned out to be true. Riot Games has officially rescheduled the 2021 World Cup, as revealed by John Needam, head of esports at Riot.
The main reason for Worlds 2021's move to a new location is the new COVID-19 Delta strain. The mutated virus has made it even more problematic to host the tournament in 2021 than it was during the height of the 2020 pandemic, according to Riot Games.
Moving the World Cup from China could help more entrants play the premier eSports tournament of the year in the League of Legends. The exact location and dates of the event are promised to be announced soon.
