According to an announcement on the League of Legends European Championships’ social media, the league has made the decision to begin the season remotely. The ten European teams will still play their matches, but will be absent from the LEC Studio in Berlin, Germany. The news comes just days before the start of the 2022 season, after LoL Esports’ successful Worlds 2022 tournament held offline.
The Twitter post explains that the decision is in response to the ongoing restrictions because of COVID-19, and the rising amount of cases in Berlin.
