Coke Esports returns with World Finals big-screen viewing parties

Want to get that arena feel but can't make it to LA's Staples Center for the 2016 League of Legends World Championship? You have options!

Coca-Cola and their Cinema partners are bringing the Finals back to the big screen, this time with hundreds of possible locations all across the country.

Admission is $20 and this year Coke will be streaming the event live via satellite in HD. Doors open at 4pm PST/7pm EST, and the first 100 fans to arrive will be guaranteed limited edition Coca-Cola cups and thunder sticks. Attendees will also have a chance to win prizes, including RP codes and the Grand Prize -- a custom edition Coke Esports PC and an Acer Predator XB1 24” Gaming Monitor.

Whether or not these events happen though, is up to the fans. Each location will only be confirmed if they sell a certain number of tickets by the deadline -- October 19. If you buy a seat for a theater that doesn't sell past the threshold in time, you won’t be charged and the event won’t happen.

Check out Coke Esports' website to find the closest theater near you, and bring the 2016 League of Legends World Championship Finals to your city!

$20? I can go see a movie and then buy a pizza on my way home to eat while watching Finals on my TV cheaper than that...

Yo Riot, your link is broken atm. It ends up with a error 500, might want to fix that.

Could we possibly request viewings at certain Cinemas? As of right now, there are no viewings in the province of Quebec but I'm sure if the Scotia Bank Theater in Montreal hosted one it would be packed.

What I hate about living in the south is that no one goes to any of these events so they just end up canceled. Like there's no way I would ever be able to go to a viewing party unless I fly across the country, and at that point I might as well just go to the finals in person. Oh well, maybe 122 tickets gets sold in the next 18 hours, but on the bright side there's always next year right?

I have no idea why they didn't do what they did last year with MSI here in Salt Lake, where they just had one specific theater for the Viewing party. Instead this year they had 4 separate locations within 20 mile of each other and expect each one to have 120 tickets reserved, plus the advertisement for this event is almost no existent.

So is there a particular reason that all of San Francisco, the city that hosted the group stages, doesn't get a Worlds Finals Viewing Party? With Redwood City being the closest, 23 miles away? Lol.
