League of Legends: Wild Rift's first global event will witness 10 teams from around the world compete for a share of the $500.000 prize pool, Riot announced today. Wild Rift: Horizon Cup will take place as an offline event at the Suntec Singapore Exhibition and Convention Center from November 3 – 21.
Wild Rift is currently in its first year of release in most regions of the world and is still not available in South Asia. Thus, the Horizon Cup and the ongoing regional qualifiers were called pre-season. Also, the Horizon Cup won't be the first Wild Rift Worlds.
Leo Faria, global head of esports for Wild Rift at Riot Games, confirmed today that the company will launch its first official competitive season next year.
So far, five teams have qualified for the Horizon Cup in Singapore. These are Da Kun Gaming (DKG) from China, KT Rolster from South Korea, Sengoku Gaming from Japan, Team Queso from Europe and eBRO Gaming from Latin America.
