Riot Games has today revealed more specific details around its upcoming changes to League of Legends European Regional Leagues (ERLs), including the NLC for teams in the UK, Ireland and Nordics.
Competition formats are being standardised across the different leagues, new pro-am tournaments are being added and there’s a rule change affecting academy teams, among other announcements.
All ERLs will host their own pro-am tournaments from 2022 onwards. These will take place between seasons, around October or November each year, kind of like the old Forge of Champions tournaments in the UK.
