League of Legends developer Riot Games will host the Wild Rift Horizon Cup in Singapore on Nov. 13, their first time organizing a mobile esports tournament. The event will be held through Nov. 21 at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Earlier this year, Riot Games established eight regional leagues world-wide for Wild Rift, a mobile version of its League of Legends PC game that has emerged as the world’s most-popular esport competition. The Wild Rift Horizon Cup will feature the top 10 teams that pass their region’s qualifier competition.
“The Wild Rift Horizon Cup is the first of many steps we will take to show how committed we are to our mobile fans around the world,'' Leo Faria, Global Head of Wild Rift Esports, said in a statement. "We are excited to share more of what we’ve been preparing for the future of the sport later this year.”
Riot Games is owned by Chinese gaming conglomerate Tencent. WildRift’s mobile multiplayer gameplay has 10 players compete at a time, five on each team.
