The ultimate 1v1 League of Legends® (LoL) experience, Red Bull Solo Q, is arriving soon to New York City! Local amateur players will compete online on June 12 for a chance to rep their community in the U.S. Finals. Prizes, community pride, and the highly-coveted Red Bull Solo Q trophy awaits the victor who rises up from the competition and vanquishes their opponents.

WHERE: Amateur players can sign up and register for the online qualifier here: https://www.redbull.com/us-en/events/solo-q-us-qualifiers/ 

**Participation in each regional qualifier is restricted only to players currently residing in that region. The New York City qualifiers will be geo-gated online given local COVID-19 restrictions and to ensure the safety of participants.

WHEN: The New York City Qualifiers will take place on June 12 

HOW:  Red Bull Solo Q allows fans to make their mark by bringing LoL players to new heights! In a world where LoL is traditionally played in a 5v5 team setting, Red Bull Solo Q will settle the score and showcase individual skill with a 1v1 gameplay format. Amateurs face-off in the top lane of Summoner’s Rift and can claim victory by being the first player to get two kills under seven minutes, or one kill after seven minutes, destroying the opposing player’s outer turret, or achieving a 100-minion creep score first. 

Red Bull Solo Q 2021 will build on last year’s success, which attracted over 80,000 signups and national and international champions crowned around the world. Alongside the 2021 competition will be special appearances from some of the biggest stars in League of Legends, including Alberto “Crumbz” Rengifo and Nicki Taylor. These personalities will be part of exclusive Red Bull Solo Q content, events and tournaments throughout the competition series this year.
