Rift Rivals and the epic rivalry between North America and Europe will once again hit the Summoners Rift this Summer. With the recent Mid-Season Invitational final between Team Liquid and G2 Esports, will Rift Rivals see EU retain its regional dominance?
This year, Rift Rivals: NA vs. EU will be returning to Los Angeles at the LCS Studio from June 27th – 29th.
FORMAT
GROUPS – Each team will go head-to-head in a Bo1 Single Round Robin to determine a regional advantage for the finals.
FINALS – Teams will play at least once in a Bo5 to determine a winning region with the following parameters:
- The stronger region from groups gets to counter pick the first three games.
- For the final 2 games, teams for each region will be selected at the same time with no chance of counter picks.
Similar to last year, the event will also include a Showmatch and 2v2s tournament.
