North America's Worlds event has been pushed to 2022. They have also previously hosted it in 2017. China would have been a back-to-back host for Worlds due to the COVID-19 pandemic disallowing spectators from 2020's event. This year's World Championship was planned to be held in China, with various stages being held in Shanghai, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Shenzhen-who would have also hosed the finals. The tournament welcomes 24 teams from all regions of the game in a months-long race for the Summoner's Cup. The 2021 World Championship is the crowning event of League of Legends esports for the year.
