The League of Legends World Championship Quarterfinals are right around the corner and for our fans attending the event in Madrid, we’ve put together a guide to help plan your trip. Over the next two weeks, the top eight teams in the world will battle it out at the Palacio Vistalegre for one of two spots at the World Championship Final in Paris. 

When does the Event Begin?

The Fan Zone will open at 10 AM local time and the Quarterfinals Show will begin at 12pm local time. Please check watch.lolesports.com for additional details. Make sure to arrive early to the venue. With the large amount of fans coming to the event, we expect delays as security checks everyone into the venue. 

What can I bring with me to venue?

• Outside Food: Players can bring food into the venue as long as it’s not in a glass container and does not require cutlery. Baby food is always an exception. Hotdogs, sandwiches and snacks will be sold at the venue.  
• Drinks: Only non-alcoholic beverages are allowed, with a maximum capacity of 500ml and in a plastic bottle with the lid removed.
• Bags and Backpacks: They are allowed but its maximum capacity is 10 Liters. These will be checked at the security gates at the entrance or also randomly checked once inside the arena. We encourage you to bring open-top bags (not backpacks) as this will expedite the security check in process for all fans and will be easier to store under your seat. 
• Photo cameras: Long lens cameras and tripods are not allowed. Small DSLR cameras are fine. 
• Signs: Signs are allowed but they cannot have sticks. Due to security and visibility reasons, the size of the signs should not exceed A3. 
• Tablets or iPads: Are allowed so long as they don’t block the view of other fans. Even though these are allowed, we encourage you to leave this at home to avoid any losses or damages.
• Other items: Please be aware that dangerous items are not allowed and will be confiscated by security. This includes sprays or aerosols.
