Riot Games has announced that the finals of its inaugural LCS Championship tournament will be held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, with the capacity for live spectators.
The finals weekend is scheduled for August 28th and 29th and will be presented by takeaway service Grubhub. This will be the first LCS event in over two years to welcome fans back into the stadium. The occasion will be further supplemented by several Fan Fest activities outside the venue.
The LCS Championship is an end-of-season tournament, replacing the old summer playoffs, where the eight best teams in the region compete for North America’s three spots at the League of Legends World Championship and the LCS Trophy.
