Wild Rift is the mobile game version of League of Legends which first launched in late 2020. Riot said in an update on the Wild Rift Esports website: “In 2023, we will centralize the operation and focus of Wild Rift Esports in Asia, the biggest and most active mobile esports market in the world. “The new Wild Rift league in Asia will be the first Riot cross-regional professional mobile esports league and will replace the original Wild Rift Esports (WRE) in April of 2023.Given the vigorous mobile esports market in Asia and the level of competition in these regions, as showcased at [the Wild Rift] Icons Global Championship 2022, we’re thrilled to bring interregional level play to the Wild Rift Esports regular season for the first time. The new Wild Rift Asian league will bring the intensity and hype of regional rivalries more regularly to our fans in Asia. We’ll have more details to share about this new league in early 2023.” The new Wild Rift league in Asia will feature 12 teams from China’s WRL and eight teams from the other 2022 Asian regions, and will have two splits per year. Riot said it’s learnt a lot from its first year of Wild Rift esports and is grateful to the community, players and teams for their support.UK caster and content creator Excoundrel penned a few words on Twitter: “It will be interesting to see what happens to Wild Rift content. Top players often the games biggest champions and created some of the most watched content. If you remove their motivation to play, do they bother to continue with content? “Asia is essentially merging with China (which I think was the only truly popular league) and the rest of the world gets pair of shoes and a “good luck”. “tl;dr Riot was just too late. Very hard to ask people to switch to a new game in the same genre, with similar gameplay loops and feels when their target audience has invested years and potentially a lot of money into games like Mobile Legends.”Excoundrel added: “Had a day to digest the official Wild Rift news and be a little less emotional about it. I still really love the game. Going to channel some iTzSTU4RT positivity and look to work with community organisers (maybe a return of the Excoundrel Premiere League from VG lmao) for 2023.”
