SANTA MONICA, Calif. July 11 - Riot Games has acquired quite the venue to host its League of Legends season 3 world championship, the same place where the LA Lakers battle it out, the Staples Center. The format that will dictate which two teams will compete in Los Angeles' Staples Center will be the same as Season 2. Each region will be allocated a set number of teams to compete in the World Playoffs, plus an additional two berths have been added this year - one to Korea and another granted to the International Wildcard tournament winner at Germany's upcoming game convention, Gamescom.
The entries for each region are as follows:
North America - 3 entries
Europe - 3 entries
Southeast Asia - 2 entries
China - 2 entries
Korea - 3 entries
International Wildcard - 1 entry
The Semifinals will be held at the USC Galen Center on September 16. The first place team will take home $1m, bringing Season 3's global prize pool to over $8m.
