You only need one visa to visit most European countries due to the Schengen Agreement.

Well, it's probably a safe guess that there won't be anything in the Netherlands  Still, really excited that it will be in Europe! Maybe I can actually watch without having serious sleep issues now

Germany would be the most central location in Europe but I doubt the final will be there

Oh yay they gonna do the same crap they did last year.
Not happy.

That's good to hear then. Any guesses as to where the finals will be held?

if Riot really rents Lichtenstein for Worlds that would be amazing

I am going with a Sweden final, Germany semifinal, and then quarters/groups in like Poland, Spain, and maybe UK.
|
I think they will likely return to France.
|
I feel like it's either Cologne or Warsaw for the final, because it's middle of Europe and huge local turnout guaranteed. Dunno about other countries.
|
France over Poland since there is IEM Worlds in Katowice. Also depends where 2 LCS stops will be.
|
Poland over France because France had All-Stars. I wouldn't be suprised if they got groups because more matches (I'd actually prefer groups or quarters tbh, but I feel like our National Stadium is a good place for Worlds).
|
Probably Yugoslavia and the URRS gonna be included.
:^)

Was hoping for Saskatchewan, Canada. But I'm ok with Europe.

France and Spain are locks. One of Scandinavian countries is probably lock as well. Romania? Poland? Idk about UK, probably, no.
Sadly, Russia probably won't get style points this time. ):
Of course it depends on are there going to be any roadtrips in EU LCS this season or no. Wait why no Germany? Isn't it kinda unfair to have whole season in Germany, Gamescom in Germany and Worlds as well? :D But it's my own biased opinion. I think it'd be nice if there was an event in Koln or smt, it's fairly accessible via airports. This might actually be a wonderful opportunity to meet other TLers if worlds doesn't conflict with any school stuff.

Same thought haha

Don't think I'll have an opportunity to go unfortunately. I'll have enough money, but I'd have to take a week or two off of school to go and I don't think that is going to happen.
If it's ever in the Americas I'd go for sure though.
|
Germany, Sweden and France are probably the countries to hold the WC. However, if Riot needs a larger soccer stadium for the final, I'd suggest holding it in the Nou Camp which could accommodate ~120,000 fans
