This is the main itinerary
The stay in Mexico will serve for the first events, while the group stage and the quarterfinals will take place in New York, specifically at the Hulo Teatre in Madison Square Garden. Canadian fans will be able to enjoy the semifinals at the Scotiabank Arena, something that has not happened to date. Finally, the tournament will move to the Californian city of San Francisco (Chase Center) for the Grand Final.
“We are delighted to bring the full scale of our global sport to North America. If COVID allows, we will welcome fans to the stage across three countries and four different cities, ”said Naz Aletaha of Global League Esports. Worlds is the showcase for our best esports, so we’re looking forward to celebrating it with our fans in North America and across the world. ”
The coronavirus situation has prevented tournaments from being held normally. The countries have dictated their measures to protect citizens, so the stadiums have not been filled with spectators, waiting for the vaccination to have the desired effect. Hopefully the reality will be different in 2022.
