China's ancient capital to set the stage

Xi’an is a city with long history around esports. At the beginning of the century, Li “Sky” Xiaofeng of Team WE, an extremely popular Warcraft II player, was discovered in Xi’an. His team, which has since become one of the most famous Esports clubs, has since made their new home in Xi'an. In addition, there have been multiple successes in smaller competitions held in this city. Thus, Xi’an was chosen by officials to hold the Demacia Cup as they welcome the arrival of winter.

The Format

The tournament patch will be on 8.24, which, if there are no further issues, may feature Neeko, the Curious Chameleon. It will be a double elimination bracket with a total of five rounds. Round one will be BO1, while the rest of the rounds will be in BO3 formt until the Grand Final, which will be a BO5.

The Competition

The top four teams from LPL Summer will return. This includes World Champions Invictus Gaming, LPL Summer Champions Royal Never Give Up, JD Gaming and Rouge Warriors. For the LDL Summer Champion, SinoDragon, this will mark their debut for many viewers unfamiliar with the developmental league. Lastly, three teams will join from NEST 2018.
