The League of Legends esports community is abuzz with rumors that Riot Games may introduce a third international event in 2024, as reported by foreign media. Fans love to witness clashes between teams from different regions, and Riot Games aims to capitalize on this by adding another international tournament to their roster. Currently, League of Legends has two major international competitions: the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) and the World Championship (S competition).
In other news, South Africa has granted unconditional approval for Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The Competition Tribunal of South Africa has yet to disclose the reasons behind their decision. This acquisition has already received approval from nearly 40 global regulators, including China and the European Commission. However, it still faces challenges in the UK and the US. The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority is concerned about the deal’s impact on the emerging cloud gaming market and plans to block the $69 billion acquisition. Microsoft has appealed this decision, while the US Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit to prevent the merger on antitrust grounds.
Furthermore, the Asian Games League of Legends roster has undergone changes. 369 and JKL have withdrawn from the team due to personal reasons. Xun and ELK have stepped in as their substitutes. The China E-Sports National Training Team made this update to its roster. The announcement follows the withdrawal of Bai Jiahao and Yu Wenbo, who had previously requested to leave the Asian Games Hangzhou team for personal reasons. The selection process for their replacements is currently underway.

The proposed acquisition has been approved by nearly 40 global regulators. Regulators in China and the European Commission backed the deal in May.
