On the 27th, Riot Games made an announcement of the locations in which their international tournaments will be held.

Riot will continue to hold 4 separate international competitions in 2018: MSI, Rift Rivals, World Championship, and All-Star. Through their official League of Legends homepage, Riot revealed the locations of where the 4 tournaments will take place. MSI will be held in France and Germany; Rift Rivals in US, China, Australia, Brazil, and Vietnam; Worlds in Korea; and All-Star in the US.

In 2014, Riot had held the World Championship in Korea and had given an unforgettable experience to the Korean LoL fans. It has been 4 years since then, and the news brought the fans back together. Back in 2014, Riot held the group stages in Thailand and Singapore, but this time around, it seems like the entire tournament will be held in Korea altogether.
