League of Legends World Championships 2021 was named “Best Esports Event” at The Game Awards 2021.
This is a significant award for the competition since it demonstrates Riot Games’ big achievement this year. The 2021 League of Legends World Championships were one of the year’s best-organized events.
In reality, the competition was fairly stiff, given that The International 2021 and Valorant Champions Tour were both nominated. Regardless, the 2021 League of Legends World Championships went through them all.
There is no disputing that 2021 was a difficult year for Esports in general. The global spread of the Covid-19 virus makes it impossible to hold events and tournaments. Despite the pandemic, Riot Games managed to run the League of Legends World Championships 2021 in the most efficient manner possible.
In reality, Riot Games was forced to change the tournament’s official location from China to Europe in less than a month before the tournament. As a result, the event was relocated to Iceland with less than a month’s notice. Nevertheless, Riot Games managed to put off the event flawlessly.
What a year for Riot Games, having won the “Esports Publisher of the Year” and the “Broadcast/Production Team of the Year”. Valorant being the “Game of the Year” and Riot’s first-ever animated TV series reaching number one on Netflix, and now their biggest tournament wins the “Best Esport Event”.
It is important to note that neither a single technical or production issue was encountered during the League of Legends World Championships 2021. As a result, League of Legends World Championships 2021 earning the award at The Game Awards was easy to understand.
