The warm-up cup represents the inception of esports for the mobile game in China. The top four teams from here will join the LPL track in the first tier, sixth to 11th-placed teams will be in the second tier, while the 13th to 16th-placed teams will be in the third tier, according to Liquipedia. The LPL track will officially kick off in September with the teams fighting for a berth in the Wild Rift World Championship 2021 and five slots to the League Mobile professional league.
