In-person events are slowly making a comeback on May 24, 2021, 9:49
The big picture: The League of Legends World Championship is returning to China for the second year in a row as developer Riot Games recently announced that the 2021 finals will be held as an in-person event later this year. Organizers will likely implement some health and safety precautions, but with vaccines becoming widely available, festivities could be a bit more robust this year.
The gaming extravaganza is scheduled to kick off on November 6 from the Universiade Sports Centre in Shenzhen. The 60,334-capacity stadium typically plays host to the Shenzhen Football Club, which competes in the Chinese Super League.
