Over the past day or so, headlines have had rumours of Riot Games moving the Worlds 2021 venue off to Europe. Indeed, with no confirmation, speculation ran about. However, today Riot Games have officially confirmed the news on the World 2021 Venue – we’re moving to Europe.
Worlds 2021 Venue – Details Are Still Scarce
Accordingly, all the new information went live thanks to a YouTube video. Watch John Needham, head of global esports at Riot Games, talk about it below:
With a month left, we simply need more details. Although it’s confirmed that we’re headed to Europe, the exact venue hasn’t been made official.
Naturally, this applies more to players over viewers, especially due to travel and other arrangements needed for the competition set to kick off next month.
However, we trust that Riot Games is only doing what is best for this epic event to take place safely:
Sadly, we’ve reached the point where it’s extremely difficult to guarantee that qualifying teams and their best players would be able to attend Worlds this year.
As a result, we’ve made the tough decision to pivot Worlds from China to Europe
