Riot has confirmed this year’s League of Legends World Championship<\/a> won’t include the qualifying Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) teams due to travel restrictions. <\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a>, the company explained the two qualifying teams from the region won’t be included at the event in Shanghai on 25th September due to safety restrictions – with Vietnamese players unable to reenter the country if they travel to China. <\/p>\n

“Over the past several weeks, we explored every possible option to include VCS teams while ensuring the safety of VCS players and the delivery of a world class event,” the statement reads. <\/p>\n

“VCS teams and VCS fans have been an irreplaceable fixture at Worlds, but in consideration of current circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to proceed without them this year.”<\/p>\n
