Large pockets of the UK, Ireland and Nordics League of Legends (LoL) esports community have spoken out against the closure of amateur circuits.
Danish tournament organiser Leagues.gg published a statement on Twitter claiming that Riot Games and Freaks 4U (F4U) have forced them to halt their current League of Legends operations, due to what appears to be a breach of Riot’s official tournament guidelines.
Leagues.gg runs LoL events like the UK Winter Showdown and was about to begin its spring 2022 season before it was halted.
