The Melbourne Esports Open, a festival of Esports taking place this September 1 and 2, has secured its first big tournament! The League of Legends OPL Split 2 Finals will take place at the event — and thanks to a deal between Riot Games, TEG and ESL, the Finals will return to Melbourne until at least 2022.
Tickets for the event go on sale tomorrow at ticketek.com, with prices starting at $19.90 for juniors and $29.90 for adults. Family day passes start from $79.70. There are premium tickets available already, if you’re so inclined.
“The OPL had a stadium Grand Final at Sydney’s Luna Park in 2015 and Brisbane’s Courier Mail Plaza in 2016,” said Ringland. “However, 2017 lacked a stadium Grand Final which was disappointing to our fans and didn’t reflect the magnitude of the OPL Grand Final, which selects the team who will go on to participate in the largest esports event the world has ever seen – the League of Legends World Championship. The Melbourne Esports Open solves for that in a sustainable, annual event and I’m thrilled to be able to deliver our fans a stadium event in Melbourne for the next five years.”
