With the expansion of its partnership with Riot Games — first established in mid-2020 — Verizon has become the official 5G network service partner for League of Legends and Valorant esports. The partnership is slated to begin in May, coinciding with two major gaming tournaments, the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational and Valorant Masters, both of which will take place in Reykjavik, Iceland’s Laugardalshöll Indoor Sporting Arena.
The move will expand Verizon’s global footprint in esports, while Verizon customers will see discounts on League of Legends in-game purchases through the Verizon Up program.
