One of the biggest game publishers in the world, Riot Games has unveiled a reworked esports facility in Berlin. The world leading facility will be a new home to the Riot’s EMEA esports division.

The Riot Games Arena will host LEC 2024 and VCT EMEA 2024 along with other EMEA-based events. The arena was closed in September 2023, and renovated in order to host numerous Riot Games EMEA esports titles.

Talking about the new arena, Alberto Guerrero, Head of Esports EMEA at Riot Games said:

 “I’m delighted to unveil the Riot Games Arena in Berlin to the world, sharing with our fans a first look at this new, world class, dedicated esports facility. We've innovated both aesthetically and technologically to create the new home for Riot Games Esports in EMEA, improving the experience for fans, teams and their players. The venue sets a high bar for esports in the world, and will set us up for further success in the years to come as we continue to commit to developing the future of esports in the region.”

The newly refurbished arena is able to switch between the relevant leagues. It also introduces a caster viewing area, a fan tunnel and improvement to meet and greet, cafe, fan lounge, merchandise store, box office and bar areas.

The arena is transformed into a cinema-style seating arrangement and amphitheater-style crowd setup and has increased the capacity to 210. The player experience has also been elevated with more warm-up rooms and a new player lounge.

Dublin-based remote broadcast centre, powered by AWS will support the EMEA arena with hosting a number of EMEA events including LEC, VCT EMEA, VCL Ascension, EMEA Masters, Game Changers and more.

The tickets for upcoming LEC and VCT EMEA seasons are available for grabs and fans can experience the new arena with the new season.
