First of last month, it has spontaneously proclaimed that the League of Legends World s 2021, ie the World Championship of Mobas, must move from China to Europe. At the time the concrete venue was still unknown, meanwhile one knows that it has become Iceland.

The World Cup will take place from 5 October to the 8th of November and because Iceland is a pretty wide range for some teams, the company will help behind the globally successful mutlplayer title Riot Games. Some Korean teams, for example, thanks to Riot with a private plane to Iceland. And that for a very nice sum.

by Korea to Iceland: Riot donates a private flight

Difficult times require creative measures: The opinion also seems to have been Riot Games and worried a private plane to fly to Korean teams to the World Championship of League of Legends (now) to Iceland. Ashley Kang, founder of KorizoneSports shared some pictures on Twitter in which the Korean players at the airport can be seen.

While she wrote in the first tweet, whether the player Beryl has probably glued a pillow to his head, she announced in the next that all teams were well landed. On board the teams DWG Kia, Geng, T1 and Hanwha Life Esports were. Incidentally, the aircraft with which the four teams arrived is a Boeing 777.

So expensive was the flight for Riot Games

As Wikipedia reveals, the plane known as Triple Seven is designed for long distances and can actually carry between 300 to 550 passengers. Even if you are there too associated persons like trainers and consultants, the Korean athletes are likely to be far away from this sum. However, the private aircraft paid by RIOT is not a regular Boeing 777, but a smaller machine, but the more luxurious machine. More specifically, a Boeing 777 - 200LR.

Lol-Caster and Twitch Streamer Caedrel claims that the said aircraft would cost $ 23,000 per hour. For a 15-hour flight there is quite a nice cute together: $ 345,000 would have cost the journey of Korean superstars. After the current course, the almost 300,000 euros were due. Caedrel refers to the details of Paramount Business Jets. Business insiders spoke in April 2020 even from $ 50,000 the hour, which the total price could be many times higher.

With such an advantage, the Korean teams can of course only win , caedrel in his stream. On Twitter he writes: If you win the Worlds, it was an absolute aircraft difference or? From a difference one speaks in connection with League of Legends usually with an extreme advantage, for example at a match-up on the Lane Or in the Jungle.

A difference was definitely in the arrival of the players. Player James Tallywhacka Shute, Member of the Australian Team Peace posted a picture of his luggage on Twitter and wrote that he was ready for the 30-hour trip. Granted: From Australia it is also just a bit further to Iceland than from Korea. But with a private plane he is probably not done.
