12 May The Red Bull Solo Q 1v1 LoL Tournament Series Returns For 2021
It’s time for North American LoL players to take another shot at 1v1 glory.
Red Bull and the League of Legends Champion Series (LCS) are teaming up to put on another 1v1 tournament series for amateur players in the US and Canada. The first Red Bull Solo Q was announced last year and had over 80,000 signups, so this iteration holds even more promise. Especially so, considering the talent that will appear in the event, including Alberto “Crumbz” Rengifo and Nicki Taylor.
Players of any skill level in North America are welcome to join. Fortunately, signups are already open on the Red Bull Solo Q website so there’s no need to wait! If you want to get in on the action, you’ll have the opportunity to claim prizes, community pride and the Red Bull Solo Q trophy.
Red Bull Solo Q format
The Red Bull Solo Q is, as mentioned, a 1v1 tournament. No jungle diff here, just straight skill matchups. The win conditions are similar to the LoL Esports All-Stars 1v1 events but slightly different. The matches are played in the top lane of Summoner’s Rift and players can claim victory in a few ways. First, they can get two kills on their opponent in under seven minutes. Or, one kill after seven minutes. In addition, the option of claiming 100 CS or destroying the opponent’s tower will get you a win too.
Event dates
There are tournament dates set throughout the summer and fall. The first qualifier is set for May 29, then they’ll run regularly for a few months from there.
