Riot has announced that the Valorant Champions Tour Stage 2 Masters and the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational will take place at the Laugardalshöll indoor sporting arena in Reykjavík, Iceland in May. The two tournaments will take place one after the other and will be the first time the two titles are played from Iceland for the first time.
"We are thrilled to showcase high-level Riot esports competition to a country as stunning and unique as Iceland, underscoring that passion for our esports can be found in every corner of the globe," said John Needham, Global Head of Esports for Riot Games. "Both MSI and VCT Masters will introduce us to breakout stars to watch this season."
On top of this, Verizon has also announced a multi-year agreement to become the Official 5G Partner for the biggest events in the LoL and Valorant competition calendar.
"Expanding our partnership with Riot esports allows us to build on the success of the past year and continue expanding the opportunities to leverage the power of 5G Ultra Wideband for player and fan experiences across both LoL and Valorant," said Yvette Martinez-Rea, Vice President, Sponsorships and Partnerships at Verizon.
