All Star Event 2018 Lol
Riot Games shared details on League of Legends’ 2018 All-Star Event while hinting that new content would be previewed during the event.
Announcing the details of this year’s All-Star Event in a new LoL Esports article, this year’s format for the event was revealed with the new formula featuring a mix of professional players and League Partners, the latter being part of Riot Games’ new program for prominent League of Legends players. The All-Star competitors will play with and against one another during the event that takes place on December 6th-8th, but Riot Games will have more than just the All-Star games to show off when the event takes place.
The All-Star Event will return to the Esports Arena in Las Vegas from December 5th-7th. The 2019 All-Star Event is a celebration that brings the best professional players and the biggest personalities from League of Legends together for a three-day event featuring competitive tournaments, charity events. In every sport in existence, All-Stars means pro-players, it's just so confusing. They change the format so much every year, it makes no sense to me. Why not have a side event with streamers and maybe some pros, but keep the main event like All-Stars 2016 with pros-only?

— lolesports (@lolesports) October 7, 2018LoL Esports’ All-Star Event announcement concluded by hinting at some surprises that are coming in the All-Star Event. These surprised seem to include the pros showing off “a colorful and curious new addition” to the game with the Snowdown Showdown content also getting previewed.
“Based on this year’s participants and format, we think All-Star 2018 be our best All-Star Event ever,” the LoL Esports post said. “We’re excited for League fans around the world to tune in and celebrate an amazing year in League and League esports. It’s bound to be full of surprises including a few sneak peeks and spotlights of new League content. Fans will see what the pros can do with a colorful and curious new addition to the rift, get an early look at what this year’s Snowdown has in store, and more. Stay tuned for more details.”
The “colorful and curious new addition” part of the teaser seems to indicate that the game’s next champion will make an appearance during this year’s All-Star 2018 event. First teased months ago in a Champion Roadmap update that previewed new champions and planned reworks, Riot Games said that a “colorful mage” was coming to the game with the flower image at the top being shared alongside the text. Like most Champion Roadmap teasers, the text appeared to hint at some of the champion’s abilities and traits.
“We do have a few new champions in development—including a rather colorful mage that won’t stay hidden for too much longer—but it’s a bit far away to go into specific details yet,” the Champion Roadmap said.
0commentsWhile it looks like the new champion will be seen during the All-Star Event, that doesn’t mean that it’ll be revealed there. It’s expected to be released by the end of the year, so Riot Games could plan on revealing it prior to the event with the actual All-Star competition showing what the champion can do in pros’ hands.
League of Legends’ 2018 All-Star Event takes place on December 6th-8th.
This year, history is on the line as we take our global events to some of our most established competitive regions. Following our record-breaking 2017 World Championship in China, we’re proud to be hosting the Mid-Season Invitational for the first time in Germany and France, before bringing the 2018 World Championship back to the home turf of five of the past seven World Championship winners: Korea. In between MSI and Worlds, regions will battle it out at Rift Rivals events taking place all over the globe, and we will cap off the year with the All-Star Event.
MSI 2018
The 2018 Mid-Season Invitational, our first global event of the year, is heading to Europe! While EU was the host region for the 2014 All-Star, the 2015 World Championship, and the 2016 All-Star Event, this will be the first time EU hosts MSI. We will be holding both Play-Ins and Groups at the revamped EU LCS studio, before heading to Zenith Paris - La Villette for Knockouts.
Below is the schedule and outline of the cities we’ll be visiting:

RIFT RIVALS 2018
In the spirit of rivalry, the host regions of the 5 Rift Rivals events will rotate this year. The events will take place during the week of July 2-8 as follows:
MATCH-UPS
NORTH AMERICA VS. EUROPE
HOSTED IN USA
CHINA VS. KOREA VS. LMS
HOSTED IN CHINA
BRAZIL VS. LATAM NORTH VS. LATAM SOUTH
HOSTED IN BRAZIL
OCEANIA VS. SOUTHEAST ASIA VS. JAPAN

Moving forward, Vietnam will have independent representation at international events. Vietnam (VCS) will be grouped with Turkey (TCL) and CIS (LCL) for Rift Rivals, and Southeast Asia (GPL) will remain grouped with Oceania (OPL) and Japan (LJL). This will allow us to keep clusters to no more than 3 regions and maintain competitive parity within clusters.
Stay tuned for more information regarding host cities and venues in the coming weeks!
WORLDS 2018
As the reigning champions of the competitive League of Legends landscape, and pioneers in the world of esports, Korea will be the host region of the entirety of the 2018 World Championship. This year, 24 teams will compete for the Summoner’s Cup across multiple cities and venues throughout Korea.

ALL-STAR EVENT 2018
From 2016’s light-hearted Barcelona blowout, to 2017’s competitive showing in Los Angeles, we’re always looking to improve and iterate on what an end-of-year All-Star Event really means for fans and pro players. This year, the All-Star Event will be returning to North America, and we’ll have more details as to format and focus down the road.
