For the first time in two years, the League of Legends European Championship will be held outside of the LEC Berlin Studio in Sweden. From September 10 to 11, the LEC will bring the competition’s final round to Malmö in Sweden.
The last LEC finals to take place in Sweden dates back to 2015, where Stockholm hosted Fnatic versus Origen in a breathtaking best-of-five. “Being the first roadshow we’ve hosted away from our Berlin studio in three years, we can’t wait to give the fans an unforgettable experience,” said Maximilian Schmidt, Head of League of Legends Esports in EMEA.
The two final matches of the LEC Summer Split will be played in Malmö Arena, which can hold up to 20,000 League fans for the event. Additionally, Riot Games has revealed they have “exciting” plans for the LEC XPO at the MalmöMässan Exhibition & Congress Center, located nearby the Finals location. The Swedish city was supposed to host the 2020 Summer Finals, but due to health precautions over the COVID-19 pandemic Riot had to cancel the live event.
Tickets for the event will be available for purchase starting July 1 at lec.gg/malmo, and will go live during the RDYCHK segment, according to Riot. League fans are surely thrilled to be able to come back and cheer on their favorite team in an arena for the first time since Athens 2019, LEC’s last ‘on the road’ show before the pandemic.
