The LEC returns to Sweden where it will hold Europe’s first live event in three years.
After almost three years with no LEC action elsewhere than the Berlin studio, the LEC heads back to Sweden for the 2022 summer finals. The LEC finals will take place in Malmö Arena, Sweden from September 10 to 11. Riot earlier planned to host the LEC finals in Malmö back in 2020 but had to cancel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Moreover, the 2022 LEC summer finals give more fans an opportunity to attend the event in person as the Malmö Arena can hold more than 10,000 fans. The last time fans got to experience this was in 2019 when Riot took the LEC finals to Athens, Greece.
