Wild Rift Esports Kicks Off Its First Official Season
Today, during Riot Games’ Season 2022 live stream, Wild Rift Esports kicked off its first official season by announcing the eight regional leagues that will be joining our competitive ecosystem. These regions will be the foundation for Wild Rift Esport’s global competitive structure, bringing their own unique flavor and style to the sport.
Wild Rift Esports also announced its first official global tournament, the Wild Rift Icons Global Championship, which will take place this summer in Europe! Wild Rift Icons will be the highest level of competitive play, and will crown the Wild Rift world champion.
The tournament will feature 24 teams, 8 qualifying straight from regional competitions, and 16 battling through the play-in stage. Following play-ins, the main event will include a group stage, and a knockout stage with a big finals day to determine the champion.
We are incredibly excited for you to join us for our first official season of Wild Rift Esports! Be sure to check out @wildriftesports for the latest updates throughout the season!
