2023 LEC Finals to be Held in Montpellier, France
The 2023 League of Legends European Championship (LEC) finals will reportedly be held in the scenic city of Montpellier, in the south of France. According to independent journalist Brieuc Seeger, this decision marks an exciting move for the European League tournament.
The LEC finals in 2023 will introduce a new format, where the competition will be split into three parts. Unlike previous seasons, the finals will not only crown a European champion for the split but for the entire season.
Riot Games, the organizer of the LEC, has not yet confirmed the location. However, a French-speaking source called aAa had already reported several days ago that the LEC “semifinals” would be held in Montpellier.
