Riot Games announced on Friday that this year’s League of Legends Championship (LCS) finals will resume offline in Newark, New Jersey, USA this summer. Specifically, the last two games of the LCS 2021 Summer are scheduled to welcome fans to watch the game at the Prudential Center in the city from August 28th to 29th.
Previously affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the LCS series was also forced to transition online. In addition to the warring parties who are fighting over the Internet, the narrator also has to comment on it remotely.
The good news is that the final two matches of the mid-April season have allowed participating teams and production staff to take the stage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Although there are no live audiences, everything is gradually getting back on track.
The Verge pointed out that with the accelerated promotion of national vaccination, the league has realized that it can resume the offline LCS Champions League this summer. Chris Greeley, Riot Games’ North America and Oceania E-sports Supervisor and LCS interim commissioner, said in an interview: We spent a lot of time talking with Prudential Center, which is also actively discussing with the State of New Jersey to understand relevant regulations and Health Guidelines.
If you want to visit the 2021 LCS Summer North American finals, the league still recommends that fans get the new crown vaccine as early as possible. In addition, the organizer will disclose more implementation details related to health and safety guidelines when the event is approaching.
At the same time, LCS has also selected venues for the 2022 Spring and Summer Champions League. Chris Greeley revealed: After 6 years, the 2022 LCS Champions League will be held in North America again, and he is quite optimistic about next year’s offline activities.
