has successively confirmed its S11 Global Finals team in major competition areas around the world, everyone is looking forward to the official start time of the Global Finals. Previously, foreign media revealed that this year's World Championship will continue to be held in Iceland, and the time is set from October 5 to November 6. Just now, the official of the League of Legends event also confirmed this news, which is completely correct!
League of Legends event officially announced that the 2021 League of Legends Global Finals will land again in Reykjavik, Iceland. The competition will officially open on October 5 and the championship and runner-up final will be held on November 6. At the same time, the official also released some specific details for this year's Global Finals, which contained a lot of important information, and we did some excerpts.
Shortening of the overall schedule
Previously, foreign media reporters revealed the specific schedule of this competition. Judging from the entire process currently provided by the official, compared with 2020, the overall schedule has been shortened by 3 days. The shortened three days are mainly reflected in that the finalists have changed from 6 days last year to 5 days. After the finalists, the group stage will start with only one day of rest. Last year, I took two days off after the finalists, and finally the quarter-finals to the semi-finals. Last year, I had 5 days, and this year I had 4 days.
In terms of competition time, fully take care of Asian audiences
is almost the same as this year's MSI. Since this year's Global Finals are held in Europe, try to arrange to meet the viewing needs of global audiences in the competition time. The finalists and group stages will start at 7 pm Beijing time. This time is 11 am in Iceland, which is relatively early for professional players. We all know that many competitions in the competition area are mostly arranged in the afternoon, so this is also considered as a way to take care of them as much as possible in the competition time schedule.
The competition system has been changed, and RGE has become the biggest beneficiary
Due to the continued absence of the VCS competition area this year, Riot had to change the arrangements of the entire competition system. Although there were many speculations about the two vacant seats before, as we said before, Riot will most likely follow the arrangements of last year's competition system, and it turns out to be true. Last year's plan was to upgrade the No. 3 seed of LCK to the group stage, and this year it was similar, but it was not LCK, but LEC. In other words, RGE, which was originally going to be shortlisted, will now go directly to the group stage.

Now the time, place and schedule are all completed, and the next question is the starting point of the major teams. The question is, it is understood that the four teams of LPL are actively preparing for departure related matters. According to previous disclosures by EDG Abu, this time when going to Iceland, the visa problem is mainly an invitation letter. I believe that the official should handle this aspect. As long as the relevant documents meet the requirements and pass relevant epidemic prevention tests before the game, the visa should not be a big problem. However, since there is no direct flight to Iceland in China, it is necessary to have a transfer. I hope everything will go smoothly in the future.
