IT House News on April 21st, tonight, Riot Games announced the update for the 2022 Mid-Season Championship of "League of Legends".

League of Legends esports global head Naz Aletaha said that teams in the LPL division have recently faced challenges brought about by the epidemic. LPL mid-season championship teams will not be able to go to Busan, South Korea to participate in this event .

IT House learned that Naz Aletaha said that with the efforts of the technology, event, and event operation teams, they were able to allow LPL teams to participate in the 2022 Mid-Season Championship remotely in China. Participating teams in the LPL competition area will participate in the competition remotely at the training base or LPL Shanghai home court in accordance with local health and epidemic prevention requirements.

According to reports, Riot Games will use the network delay tool to control the delay of all teams during the game to around 35ms . Throughout the Mid-Season Invitational, Riot Games will provide referee support and game monitoring in both South Korea and China.

According to previous information, the "League of Legends" 2022 Mid-Season Championship will be held in Busan, South Korea from May 10 to 29. The entire event will be held at the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center. The Commonwealth of Independent States (LCL) will miss the Mid-Season Invitational due to the cancellation of the spring split.

The following is the updated content of the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational:

In the past two years, the global COVID-19 epidemic has had an unprecedented impact on offline activities. During this period, we have been hoping to minimize the impact on the experience of fans and professional players as much as possible, and present safe and fair events. To this day, travel restrictions caused by the epidemic continue to affect our entire ecology.

Recently, teams in the LPL division are facing challenges due to the epidemic. Teams participating in the Mid-Season Championship in the LPL region will not be able to travel to Busan, South Korea to participate in this event. Driven by the efforts of our technology, events, and event operations teams, we are able to allow teams from the LPL region to participate in the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational remotely in China. Participating teams in the LPL competition area will participate in the competition remotely at the training base or LPL Shanghai home court in accordance with local health and epidemic prevention requirements.

We finally made this decision after considering many factors including safety, infrastructure, venue and competitive fairness. At the same time, the LPL region also has the necessary infrastructure for online competition, and delays in China and South Korea are within acceptable limits. In order to ensure competitive fairness, we will use network delay tools to control the delay of all teams during the game to around 35ms. During the 2020 Mid-Season Cup, the LPL and LCK divisions used this tool for competitions. In order to ensure the fairness of the game, all teams participating in the Mid-Season Invitational can conduct practices and scrims under this delay. Throughout the Mid-Season Invitational, we will also provide referee support and game monitoring in both South Korea and China.

The past two years have been difficult, but our passion for League of Legends has never changed. Thank you to all our fans, teams, players and partners for standing with us and supporting us in various emergencies. We’re looking forward to welcoming the world’s top teams to the Mid-Season Invitational on May 10th. Other related events and ticket sales information will be announced later.
