LOL: World Championship moved to Iceland confirmed

After the plans in China failed, the World Championship of this year is moved to Iceland.

LoL Esports today announced that the 2021 World Championship is going to be held at the Laugardalshöll indoor sports arena in Reykjavik, Iceland. The Mid-Season Invitational was held at the same place this year. After a short time of radio silence from Riot Games, after when they announced a few weeks ago that the venue will be changed from China to Europe, the news about World Championship came out.

During MSI, the event was held without players getting affected due to COVID-19, so the changing of venue from locale to Iceland makes sense.
