We're going to have the top League of Legends teams from North America, Europe, China and South-East Asia all flying out and competing in the WCG Grand Finals on the main-stage for $10,000 and the title of WCG Champion.

League of Legends matches will start on Thursday 9/30 (group stage), and Friday 10/1 (playoffs), culminating in the Saturday, 10/2 (Grand Final, main stage).

Riot is going to be at the event for the entire WCG, but we'll be there in force on Saturday 10/2 cheering on the teams on the main stage, playing LoL against the crowds at our booth, giving away t-shirts, Riot Singed, and a lot of new swag.

If you want to watch the events, but aren’t able to make the trek to LA, don’t worry – we’ll be providing plenty of coverage online. In fact, you can check out the WCG North American Finals this weekend, which will be streamed on the WCG USA Coverage Site at 4:30 PM PST this Saturday, September 11th.

Event Details & Travel Information
Hotels:
The JW Marriott is in walking distance
The Sheraton is close and nice
The Clarion is close and cheap

Getting There:
The main LA airport is LAX, which is 20 minutes drive from the LA Convention center (or 3,000 hours in traffic).
You can take a cab for $40-$60, rent a car, or take a long bus ride through a not-so-great neighborhood.

We can't wait to meet you there - so book your flights, find your hotels, and start planning your October 2nd.
