All Knights withdraws from LLA, League of Legends' Top LATAM division

Posted : 02 May 2024

LATAM esports organization All Knights has opted to withdraw from the Latin American League (LLA), the premier League of Legends division in the region. Consequently, the LLA will proceed with six teams for its upcoming Closing Split, slated to commence following this year's Mid-Season Invitational (MSI).

 

All Knights communicated their departure from League of Legends through their social media channels, specifying their intention to remain active in the esports scene beyond the game, including their continued involvement in the VALORANT Challengers ecosystem. The decision to exit League of Legends was attributed to a shift in the organization's competitive strategy.

 

Established in 2018, All Knights achieved its most notable League of Legends success in 2020 when it clinched victory in the LLA Opening 2020, securing a spot in the MSI. However, the anticipated event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and since then, All Knights has not secured another LLA split victory.

 

All Knights recently engaged in discussions with Riot Games regarding its future within the league, ultimately resulting in their departure and the subsequent adjustment of the competition format for the Closing Split, a change Riot Games plans to reveal soon.

 

All Knights' departure marks the second exit of an esports organization from the LLA within a year, following the departure of Mexican team Team Aze after the LLA Closing 2023. Despite the loss of a participant organization, the 2024 LLA Opening Split recorded the second-highest peak viewership in the competition's history since its inception in 2019.

 

Estral Esports, the victor of the LLA Opening 2024, is presently representing the region at the ongoing MSI in Chengdu, China, showcasing the competitive prowess of LATAM esports despite organizational shifts within the league.
