Will League of Legends and VALORANT tournaments coexist? “In Iceland and in the teams, both in the organizations that will end up qualifying and the internal Riot teams, we are confident that we can share real estate and resources but deliver two very different events in Iceland.”. “They can lay claim to being the host of the first offline VALORANT event ever and they can demonstrate that they are a safe and mature production environment,” Troop said. However, VALORANT will be looking to host its first ever offline event, something Iceland will now lay claim to. This MSI event takes the place of what couldn’t happen for League of Legends last year. Riot Games wants to have both titles work together when it comes to producing offline events in future.
