What is Red Bull Solo Q?

This isn't your ordinary five-on five-battle: Red Bull Solo Q features a unique challenge where the 1v1 competitors have to achieve one of three methods to win.

To succeed in battle, challengers will need to either get First Blood, reach a 100-minion score, or destroy their opponent's tower, offering a unique perspective on the traditional and beloved game.

Running for 3 consecutive weeks, the Online Qualifiers of the unique tournament will start on Wednesday May 11th, giving players from around the country the opportunity to compete at the National Final in June and secure their place at the World Finals later this year. Eight Finalists from the Online Qualifiers will be brought to Auckland for the Live Final, battling it out to be crowned the National Champion and a trip to the World Finals for a shot at the grand prize - the chance to live the life of a League of Legends pro and meet some of the most beloved faces of the scene.

Who can enter

Red Bull Solo Q is open to all amateur players (aged 16 and over) out there who think they have what it takes to take on the rest of the world at League of Legends – no team-mates required.

In 2022, more than 20 participating countries will have multiple national qualifiers to crown a National Champion who will face off on the World stage for the ultimate title of Red Bull Solo Q World Champion.
