Red Bull will bring back Solo Q, the official 1v1 League of Legends tournament, this Spring. As part of the brand’s global event partnership with Riot Games, the overall winner of the competition will compete with professional players and streamers at this year’s All-Star event.
Online qualifiers will begin April 16 in Ireland, with 35 national qualifiers and finals, international online qualifiers, and new tournament stages planned. The announcement noted that last year’s competition, then branded Red Bull Player One, attracted 25,000 participants from 29 countries.
In addition, Belgian esports personality Eefje “Sjokz” Depoortere—a regular host of the League of Legends European Championship (LEC)—will return as the global brand ambassador of Solo Q.
