The League of Legends World Championship returns to Europe this year for the second time in history, but several of the continent’s top teams are struggling with poor internet quality in the lead-up.<\/p>\n
While the finals will take place in Paris in November<\/a>, the play-in stage and the main groups are both scheduled for Berlin in the first half of October.<\/p>\n Ahead of the play-ins, many LEC coaches and players have expressed concerns over the terrible internet connection in the capital of Germany, which has been a hot topic of discussion for the past couple of years.<\/p>\n Internet issues in Berlin, while a known problem among the professional LoL esports<\/a> teams, was brought up to the public by Splyce coach Hadrien \u201cDuke\u201d Forestier at the start of last week, when he shared his frustration about the city and its internet with his Twitter followers. <\/p>\n Day 5: still no internet, we don't know if we will still be alive for Gauntlet.<\/p>\n Jokes aside, I don't understand how one of the biggest esport league in the world stays in fucking Berlin. This split we lost more than 2 full weeks of practice because of internet being down.<\/p>\n — Duke (@Duke_Esports) September 9, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
