This is a familiar place for Wild Rift supporters and will feature the strongest teams from around the world.\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<p>Icons was intended to take place in Madrid, Spain; however, Riot Games decided to relocate the tournament to Singapore due to lingering complications as a result of the COVID pandemic, including visa application delays and re-entry restrictions for several regional teams. Riot say the switch will guarantee that teams not only have the opportunity of attending the tournament, but also have a phenomenal first Icons experience.\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<p>In a press release, Riot Games said: \u2028\u201cDue to the global pandemic complicating visa application timelines and re-entry dates for many regional teams, Riot Games made the decision to move the competition to Singapore.\u201d\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<p>Riot&#8217;s Global Head of Esports, Leo Faria, spoke about the first Wild Rift Icons Global Championship moving to Singapore and what it promises to be to the esports community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are incredibly excited to announce that our very first Wild Rift Icons Global Championship will be coming to Singapore this summer,\u201d Faria stated. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIcons will be the climax of our Wild Rift esports season, showcasing the best in mobile esports from around the world!\u201d \u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s competition will feature 24 teams, with eight from the regional championships and 16 from the play-in round.

It is a multiplayer online battle mobile game for both iOS and Android. The free-to-play game is a refined version of League of Legends for the PC.\u2028\u2028 <\/p>\n<p>Tencent, a company that also publishes video games, asked Riot Games to develop League of Legends into a mobile game after officially acquiring them in 2015. Riot, on the other hand, declined, claiming that the game could never be recreated on a smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Tencent then developed a mobile MOBA, Honor of Kings &#8211; international adaptation known as Arena of Valor. Tencent&#8217;s partnership with Riot Games was reportedly affected by the aforesaid games, and the two companies&#8217; relationship was further affected when Tencent utilized prominent League of Legends players to endorse Arena of Valor as well as its esports leagues.\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<p>After a complaint was issued by Riot Games, a restriction for marketing Arena of Valor for two months was published. Also, an appeal was made for a review of all marketing strategies by Riot Games, and a prohibition of the use of select celebrity gamers. \u2028\u2028Having gone through this hurdle, Riot Games saw the possibility of transforming games to mobile. Hence, they created a mobile title &#8211; League of Legends: Wild Rift.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports
