LEC 2023 Season Finals Set To Be Held In Montpellier

The LEC 2023 Season Finals will be bringing all of the League Of Legends action to Montpellier at the Sud de France Arena.


The League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) announced this morning that they will be holding the LEC 2023 Season Finals in Montpellier. The event will take place at the Sud de France Arena, and while dates have not been finalized as of this announcement, you can expect it around the same time of the year as 2022. The move is to get the LEC back out into open tournaments with crowds more frequently than they have been, and holding an event in the south of France is definitely a way to go. We have a couple of quotes about the announcement below.
