Rift Rivals is returning to our screens this summer for a third consecutive year, once again featuring three European and three North American teams who will face off on the grand stage for prize money and pride.<\/p>\n

The venue for the 2019 Rift Rivals NA vs EU tournament is scheduled for June 27-29 in Los Angeles, which hosted the 2018 Rift Rivals NA vs EU, unlike 2017, when the event took place in Berlin.<\/p>\n

It was expected the tourney would alternate between EU and NA, but Riot Games believes European organisers have enough work on their hands as it is with the preparations for 2019 LoL World Championship.<\/p>\n

The scheduling alone means LEC will have to take a break one week after Rift Rivals just so they can minimalise the impact of travelling across the world for the players.<\/p>\n

This has sparked up an interesting debate among League of Legends esports<\/a> fans. <\/p>\n

Needing to travel across the world, adjust to a different time zone, fly back and then adjust to home time again could put EU teams at a significant disadvantage ahead of Worlds, not least because they finish their splits a whole two weeks later than NA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
