The
Redbull League Of Its Own comes back. The company has confirmed this Wednesday the place and the dates of this second edition. Additionally, two of the invited teams have been announced. Already here last year,
T1 and
Karmine Corp will make their return in the Redbull preseason event, that will take place on December 15 at the
Accor Arena of Bercy in
Paris, which hosted 2019
League of Legends World Finals.
The other teams are yet to be announced, but we don't know how many teams will be invited to the event. Redbull have announced their ambitions to bring in unsual matchups between teams who couldn't play one against another in their official circuit. Last year, seven teams - T1, Karmine Corp, G2 Esports, Team Heretics, Eintracht Spandau, BIG and NNO - were present in Berlin. The company hasn't yet revealed anything about the format in itself - last year, teams faced T1 in a succession of BO1s - but has promised "numerous surprises".
If Redbull's invitation policy remains similar to last year, i.e. privileging local teams, it is likely that other french organizations would be invited. Nothing has been said about it yet however.
Redbull has decided to take direct inspiration from Riot Games regarding ticket sales : announcing it very shortly before the sale opens. You therefore won't have much time to organize yourself as the sale is officially said to start... today.
