LoL: Potential Host City for MSI 2023 Revealed
Esports News UK have revealed that, according to their sources, the 2023 MSI tournament will be coming back to Europe with the finals taking place in London, England.
After being held in Busan, South Korea, the tournament could come back to Europe. This would be the second time in three years that the event is held on an island in Europe, with 2021 taking place in Iceland where COVID restrictions and isolation rules made it easy for teams to travel to.
With fewer restrictions now three years into the pandemic, things are going back to normal with fans being able to attend events again as well, which makes London a very attractive option for the tournament.
Of course, we have to take this information with a grain of salt, since Riot has not officially confirmed anything yet regarding the 2023 MSI location. This information is subject to change, but fans are already pretty hyped, especially League of Legends Caster Caedrel who is from the UK.
WORLD CUP ISNT COMING HOME BUT MSI IS
While England failed to make it to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals, it seems that English LoL fans have something else to celebrate if the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational will actually be coming home to host the biggest esports stars.
Which arena would be perfect for the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational in London? The options are endless, especially with Tottenham recently hosting the NFL as well, showing how versatile the stadiums are. But we will have to wait to find out more.
