According to Carlos Antunes, esports leader at Riot Games in Brazil:
“We are very happy to be able to start our return to the face-to-face format. Nothing replaces the presence of players on stage to convey the emotions of each match, and being able to offer that again in this decisive moment of CBLOL marks a reunion between players, casters and fans that since 2020 we dream of happening again”.
Riot Games also made a point of informing that the protocols to prevent the spread of COVID 19 will not be left aside during the matches. In addition to the sterilization of all equipment used by the teams, players and employees will also be tested, with the mandatory use of masks.
