After over a decade of two international events highlighting the professional League of Legends circuit, Riot Games might be adding a new tournament to test the best teams in the world.
Riot is reportedly adding a third major international event to League‘s competitive circuit in 2025, hosted between the Winter Split and the Spring Split, according to esports journalist Alejandro Gomis. The location, format, and name of the tournament have not been revealed yet, but one team per major region will reportedly be invited to this event.
Since this event will reportedly be taking place between the first two splits of the year, fans could finally get the chance to watch some cross-regional play as early as March 2025. This does, however, suggest that the remainder of the competitive calendar will be pushed back to accommodate for the new event, meaning that the Mid-Season Invitational would likely take place later, along with the start dates for most regions around the world.
Additionally, Riot confirmed that this coming June, there will be an update on the competitive schedule for 2025, so fans may only have to wait until the summer for confirmation on this new event.
This is a breaking news story with more details to follow. Updates will be added as soon as possible.
