Riot Games moved the Worlds Qualifying Series to South Korea. The tournament was supposed to take place in North America. NA will be represented by Golden Guardians at the event. Riot Games officials stated "While we had originally planned to host the Worlds Qualifying Series in North America, we have elected to move the event to South Korea to allow the two potential teams as much time as possible to prepare in the host region, minimize travel, and scrim against qualified Worlds teams before the Play-In Stage."
