Riot announces standalone women’s League of Legends tournament

Riot Games HQ



Riot Games has announced a new women’s League of Legends standalone tournament called Rising Stars. The goal is to “promote inclusion and opportunities in esports”, with each team having to be composed entirely of women over the age of 16.

This is very much an event with an eye on the future, rather than something on the scale of LoL Worlds. The teams will be competing for a £3,000 prize pool while the event broadcast will be produced in Nottingham by Esports Production students learning their trade. TIL you can do a degree in Esports Production.
