The final of Worlds League of Legends 2022 will officially take place on November 5… but in France, you have to take into account the time difference and in fact, the match will take place on November 6 at 1 a.m.. Impossible to know if the Bo5 will be disputed, but in the event of a tight match, we could have very long hours which will take us until dawn. It’s a bit cruel to the workers and students, who may have to watch the showdown on replay to not behave like zombies. It should however be emphasized that it is normal to use the timetables of the host country (USA). Next year will inevitably be better, whether in Asia or in Europe.
But the bravest French will not want to miss a drop of the show, despite the night time of the match. The most motivated can even attend the meeting from a movie theater, just to commune with other LoL fans. Please note that only a limited number of cinemas offer this service. To avoid traveling for nothing, here is the listing.
In France, 10 cinemas will broadcast the final
Please note that the list is subject to change. It will be updated if new cinemas appear.
- Pathé Angers (1 Avenue des Droits de l’Homme): Angers
- Pathé Gare du Sud (9 Chemin de Saint-Charles): Nice
- Pathé Gaumont Alésia (73 Avenue du General Leclerc) : Paris
- Pathé Wepler (140 Boulevard de Clichy) : Paris
- Pathé Gaumont Disney Village (Disney Village): Marne Valley
- Pathé Gaumont Montpellier Multiplex (Odysseum): Montpellier
- Pathé Madeleine (36 Avenue du Maréchal Foch): Marseilles
- Pathé Vaise (43 Rue des Docks): Lyons
- Pathé Valencia (53 Route de Romans): Valence
- Pathé Wilson (3 Place du President Thomas Wilson): Toulouse
The Parisians will have the choice between the 14th (Alésia) and the 18th (Wepler) arrondissement. We also note that in the largest cities in France, several have passed their turn… Like what, esports still has a long way to go to be fully recognized, while we are surely talking about the biggest esports event in the world. . Nantes (318,808 inhabitants), Strasbourg (287,228 inhabitants), Bordeaux (260,958 inhabitants) and Lille (234,475 inhabitants) are in the top 10 of the most populated cities in France but do not currently offer broadcasting.
France rather well off compared to the rest of the world
With 10 cinemas scattered across France, however, France remains rather spoiled compared to the rest of the world.
- Germany: 16 cinemas
- Belgium: 5 cinemas
- Netherlands: 4 cinemas
- Spain: 2 cinemas
- United Kingdom: 1 cinema
In Europe, Germany is doing a little better but that’s it. Elsewhere in the world, we have not been able to count the number of cinemas in UNITED STATESsince there was already one sixties just in California knowing that there are 50 states in the USA. In South Korea, 10 cinemas will broadcast the final. It’s relatively little when you know the country’s enthusiasm for the game, but the fans will surely be on Twitch or YouTube.
lfl-lol
This year, the PGW (Paris Games Week) will find a League of Legends competition. The two semi-finals of the Coupe de France have taken up residence there and we can’t wait to see what the atmosphere will be like there. Kameto could be there and find a scene he knows well.
