The Dispute Resolution for Riot Games‘ Esport (EMEA)

Publisher Riot Games has established a voluntary and independent arbitration court for professional and semi-professional EMEA competitions in League of Legends and VALORANT, which is designed to help teams, players and coaches resolve financial and contractual disputes. In doing so, Riot Games EMEA is pursuing the goal of improving the stability and sustainability of its competitive ecosystems and building more trust. 

We are excited to welcome Valérie Horyna as a guest speaker for the ELLG!
