Eliphant and PGL announce their appointment as official partners for Riot Games Southeast Asia’s 2021 esports and competitive collegiate plans for League of Legends: Wild Rift. The mobile version of League of Legends commenced its regional Open Beta across Southeast Asia in October this year.
Singapore will kick off with Wild Rift esports with several smaller, intermittent competitive events from January through March to give viewers a taste of the budding talent and teams in the region. In April, this will transition into eight location-specific tournament circuits, where teams will compete for the title of local champion. Once local champions have been crowned, they will compete against other local champions at a cross-Southeast Asia level.
