The 2022 League of Legends World Cup will be held in 4 different cities
It's not even been two months since League of Legends' Worlds 2021 came to a close, but Riot Games is already preparing for this year's Worlds 2022, which promises to be surprisingly bigger and better.
The organization revealed what was already known from rumours. The 2022 League of Legends World Cup will return to North America after six years, but it will be held at different venues, specifically four venues in three countries.
Through the promotional video, Riot Games announced that Worlds 2022 will return to North America. As if this were not enough, the competition, perhaps the largest in the world of Esports, will be held in 4 cities: New York, Mexico, Toronto and San Francisco.
As indicated by the data that has been delivered, the play-in phase will be played in Mexico City, in the main studio of the LoL Latin American League.
From there, the group stage will be played in the Big Apple, New York City as will the quarterfinal stage, both stages will be played at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden.
To continue, the elimination rounds will take place in the charming city of Toronto, at the Scotiabank Arena (where the Toronto Raptors of the NBA and the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL play).
Lastly, the grand finale will take place in San Francisco, at the Chase Center (home of the NBA's Golden State Warriors).
Promise to be bigger and better
The League of Legends World Cup, Worlds 2022, promises to be a memorable World Cup, taking into account the return of the public, after two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, where the competition was only broadcast virtually.
With the recent Worlds 2021 World Cup final, 73 million viewers were reached worldwide. If everything goes according to plan, and COVID-19 allows it, this year the audience records for an Esports event will be far exceeded.
The last League of Legends World Cup on American territory was in 2016, played in the United States, where the best player in the world, Faker and his Korean team T1 (formerly SK Telecom) were champions.
