  • Hong Kong organization Talon Esport will hold a Wild Rift tournament starting May
  • Mox Bank, Hong Kong Cyberport, and CSL Mobile will be the notable partners and sponsors
  • Esports professionals will compete for a champion’s prize of $26,000

Yet another League of Legends: Wild Rift tournament will be held in Hong Kong, confirming both event organizers’ and fans’ excitement for Riot’s mobile entry.  

Talon Esports Announces a Wild Rift Tournament with Riot’s Favor

Talon Esports has announced 2021 The League of Legends: Wild Rift SEA Icon Series Hong Kong: Summer Season by Mox as a part of the SEA Icon Series. According to the organization, the event is dedicated to celebrating the game’s release in Hong Kong. 

The tournament will take place from May 1 and will continue through the month and the one to follow until the conclusion on June 20. 

The Co-founder and CEO of Talon Esports, Sean Zhang, shared that he is honored to work with Riot for the future of esports in Hong Kong. He believes that the increasing interest in esports in the region will provide fertile soil for the future growth of competitive gaming. 

The tournament will be the first local event in Riot’s mobile title, produced officially by the local branch Riot Games Southeast Asia. Other tournaments in Malaysia and Thailand will be instead operated by ESL. 

The Sponsors and the Competitors

The organization of the Wild Rift event will be aided financially by Mox Bank, which will be the main sponsor and will be included in the title. The local Hong Kong Cyberport and the telecommunications company CSL Mobile will also partner with Talon Esports. 

Bruce Lam from the latter mentioned that his company is dedicated to helping, supporting, and promoting esports in Hong Kong and will do everything in its power to provide the best 5G mobile network. Lam hopes that CSL Mobile’s partnership with Riot Games and Talon Esports will help grow talented players that can later represent Hong Kong worldwide. 

The League of Legends: Wild Rift SEA Icon Series Hong Kong: Summer Season by Mox will see 64 teams engage in a showdown for admission in the group stages. Four teams from the group stages will then proceed to the finals. The organizers hope to have the finals offline if the COVID-19 situation calms down by the end of June. 

The champion team will share the grand prize of $26,000.

League of Legends: Wild Rift has enjoyed a spectacular amount of popularity, especially by the SEA, where it will be played as a medal sport in the SEA Games. A world championship is already in the works, perhaps releasing this very same year.
