The final tier of the tournament, the Champion's Tour, will be a two-week event, and planning for the event has already started. Riot has said that it is putting a significant effort into it, so fans are in for a good time when it comes time. There is no word on when that event will take place, if it will be an in-person event, and if it is, or if fans will be able to be in attendance.

The next two tiers of the Champion's Tour will mark the first international tournament in the game's esports history.

All of the first Challengers events will have an open qualification system, which means any team can compete to earn their spot. More information on the upcoming tournaments has yet to be revealed.
