It’s officially the start of Worlds season, and Riot Games has revealed the complete schedule for the biggest esports event of the year, the League of Legends World Championship.
Worlds is a celebration of an entire year’s worth of competition in the LoL esports scene, and this year, it’s shaping up to be bigger and better than ever before.
Recently, Riot posted the full calendar for the tournament on Twitter. The event kicks off with the pick’em challenge on Sept. 18 for the Play-in stage.

The Ultimate Spellbook mode will also return during the event. Additionally, a brand-new skin drop is planned for October 23, kicking off Patch 14.21.
