I managed to predict 2/3 of the cities for the 2025 season so now I'm gonna guess the 2026 host cities
Masters Katowice
Masters Rio
Champions Chengdu (if they don't just choose Shanghai again)
NA_BEST_COUNTRY [#2]Masters Mumbai
Masters Gaza
Champions Pyongyang
Mumbai probably the worst option outta these 3 I'm still traumatised by the 6 hours Indian tech pauses
fiv5Mmmmm [#4]Champions Rio please
I can already hear the crowd screaming "EI FNS, VAI TOMAR NO CU"
(fns will already be retired by then, I just don't have any other better example)
Champs is already confirmed to be in China in 2026

WTFFFF
who said that? To where? What shit, the Chinese fans are horrible

At least they actually stayed to watch the trophy lift
Unlike one crowd
NA_BEST_COUNTRY [#2]Masters Mumbai
Masters Gaza
Champions Pyongyang
I am not saying this just because i am indian but as indian gaming scene is starting to bloom ..... if any big event like masters is held in Mumbai it would really help the Indian PC gaming scene to grow even more.

rn gaza would be a far worst option ngl

I was just going to say this only lol

Fuck, what does this have to do with?
I wanted to say that China's fans are shit because they just stay silent the entire game, but it's like that too, but at least they make noise during the most impactful plays
You were very angry because of this, no one in Brazil cared about the fans leaving

C'mon u have to realise the irony of calling the Chinese crowd shit while suggesting Champs be held in Brazil
We both know if a Brazilian team didn't first of all make it to the event, and second of all make a deep run, then there would be a 2021 level crowd (non-existent)

I don't think the arena will be sold out. For an event like Champions, Riot would likely aim to ensure the stadium is completely filled.

Chinese fans don’t stay silent the entire game though, the mercedes arena was PACKED with many fans and noise. Even when GenG won the entire thing there was still noise lol
Masters Buenos Aires (or Mexico City)
Masters Stockholm (Could also be London or even Rejkavik for 5th anniversary, which is my preference)
Champs Beijing or Chongqing (don’t think back to Shanghai and China would be furious with Hong Kong/Taiwan)
Almost guaranteed no Pacific region event in 2026 as it will have been the only region to host an event every year of franchising so far. Will prob evolve into ‘27 no EMEA, 28’ no China, 29 no Americas and 30 no Pacific or something like that…
NA_BEST_COUNTRY [#2]Masters Mumbai
Masters Gaza
Champions Pyongyang
yo i'd like to see champions pyongyang frfr
Anguibok [#6]Chengdu and not Chongqing ?
