Riot har officielt måtte meddele, at de har truffet den beslutning at flytte den kommende League of Legends Worlds 2021-turnering fra Kina til Europa. De siger i en video på Twitter, at dette primært skyldes at holdene kan få bedre adgang til faciliteter, og at med Delta-varianten af COVID-19, der er dette sværere.
"With the Delta variant, travel restrictions and Covid protocols have been even more complicated to navigate in 2021 than they were in 2020. Sadly, we reached the point where it is 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."
Riot har ikke afsløret nogle yderligere detaljer om World, så vi aner faktisk ikke hvorhenne i Europa at turneringen afholdes.
