Worlds was last held in Europe in season five when SK Telecom T1 claimed their second title over KOO Tigers in Berlin. This is the first time Worlds has visited Spain, which is the spiritual home of teams like G2 Esports and Origen.

Riot also announced changes to the seeding of teams at Worlds. Korea has lost its three automatic seeds into the group stage, with the third seed now having to fight through the play-in stage to make it to pool play. China’s third seed will automatically be promoted to the group stage as a result.

Tickets will be released at a later date.
