Riot Games reveals new details on Mid-Season Invitational 2021

The second largest and largest annual League of Legends tournament will take place from May 6 to 23 in Iceland. The venue will be the Laugardalsholl in Reykjavik. We learned about this on the official website of the eSports discipline.

To ensure that the health of players and other employees of eSports clubs and organizers is not endangered, Riot Games is obliged to go through quarantine for all visitors. In addition, for an increased level of safety, it was decided to hold the championship without spectators.

In addition, we now know that the format of the Mid-Season Invitational in 2021 will be somewhat non-standard. The organizers got rid of the preliminary stage of the championship. The matches will start in groups, where two teams will advance from each quartet to the next stage. In the second stage, called the Rumble Stage, the six will compete for four invites to the playoffs. In the final stage, all three fights will be held in Bo5 format.
