League of Legends' S Tournament is one of the highest level esports events in the world, attracting the attention of hundreds of millions of players and viewers every year. The location of the S Race is also a hot topic every year, and different countries and cities want to become the organizers of the S Race and showcase their culture and charm. However, Riot Games recently officially announced some of the venues for the S14 Worlds, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction and doubts.
Riot Games has officially announced that the S14 Worlds Play-In and Swiss Round will be played at the LEC Arena in the European region, which is the main venue for the European regular season in Berlin. However, the scale of the arena is very limited, and it is reported that it can only accommodate about 200 live spectators, which is too shabby and inappropriate for a world-class event. Many players and ** have expressed their confusion and dissatisfaction with this, believing that this is disrespectful to the S tournament and unfair to other regions and teams.
It was pointed out that the S14 Worlds Play-In and Swiss Rounds are very important and intense stages that will determine which teams will make it to the knockout rounds and which will be eliminated. Such an event should be held in a larger venue and in front of more spectators in order to reflect the momentum and influence of the S competition. Moreover, such a venue will also disappoint many players who want to play live, because the ticket supply is very tight and it is difficult to buy. Some people even joked that such a venue is like an Internet café, and there is no feeling of an S race at all.
Some people believe that Riot Games officially chose such a venue to save costs and facilitate arrangements. Because the LEC Arena is already a regular venue in Europe, there is no need for additional construction and transportation, nor does it need to negotiate and compete with other venues. Moreover, due to the impact of the epidemic, Riot Games officials may not want to take too much risk in the size of the venue and the number of spectators, so they chose a relatively safe and stable venue. However, this argument does not convince players and viewers who have high expectations and enthusiasm for S Tournaments, who believe that Riot Games officials should pay more attention to the quality and image of S Tournaments, rather than just considering cost and safety.
It has been suggested that Riot Games officials should reconsider the venue arrangements for the S14 World Championship, or at least add some other venues during the Play-In and Swiss rounds, so that more players and spectators can play live and experience the atmosphere and charm of the S-Tournament. Some people have suggested that there are many other excellent venues in Europe, such as the Adisas Arena in Paris and the Millennium Dome in London, all of which have hosted the S Tournament in the past, and they can accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of spectators, all of which can bring more glory and momentum to the S Tournament. Riot Games officials should respect the history and tradition of the S-game, as well as the strength and dedication of other regions and teams, and provide a more suitable and high-quality venue for the S-game, making the S-game the highest stage in the world.
