The 10 teams in the Horizon Cup will reportedly be from the following regions:

  • Southeast Asia: Two (SEA Championship)

  • North America: One (Summoner Series)
  • Korea: One (KR Qualifier)
  • Japan: One (Japan Cup)
  • LATAM: One (Lolcito Salvaje Abierto)
  • Brazil: One (Wild Tour)

League of Legends: Wild Rift is in beta and hasn’t been released globally yet. Thus, this is the preseason of the game’s esports scene.

Riot previously said it intends to build a new esports ecosystem for Wild Rift that’s “self-sustaining” and “independent” of League on PC’s esports scene.
