Ever wanted to see top players from leagues around the world battle it out in the ultimate dream team tournament? This December, the All-Star Event is back - and more competitive than ever.
Mark your calendars now! The 2017 All-Star Event will be held in the NA LCS Studio in Los Angeles on December 7-10.
For this year’s clash of the titans we’re saying goodbye to the the unfettered mayhem and elemental battles - instead we’ll be hosting a dream team tournament with fan-voted rosters of pros from the top eight regional leagues based on their performance at the 2017 World Championship (2017 Mid-Season Invitational and previous performance at international events will be used for tiebreakers.) That means the eight regional teams will be:
China (LPL)
Europe (EU LCS)
Korea (LCK)
LMS (LMS)
North America (NA LCS)
Southeast Asia (GPL)
Turkey (TCL)
Brazil (CBLOL)
In addition to the main event, each dream team will also send two representatives from their team into the ultimate challenge of head-to-head skill: the 1v1 tournament.
