British LEC casters Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont and Aaron ‘Medic’ Chamberlain have joined the console for the Red Bull Solo Q final this weekend.
The 1v1 League of Legends tournament will take place from December 4th to 5th, 2021 at BMW Welt in Munich, where 19 players will compete against each other.
Casters Caerel and Medic are joining LEC presenter Eefje ‘Sjokz’ Depoortere, who was already part of the tournament when Red Bull Solo Q’s return for the summer of 2021 was announced, as well as René ‘Masterplay’ Geigenberger as co-presenter and NLC Caster Georgia ‘Troubleinc’ Paras as another caster. Sjokz has been the face of the tournament since 2019.
In July, Turkish international and German-born player Enes ‘AKEN’ Akguel won the UK Final of Red Bull Solo Q at the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London.
However, he is not on the list of players for the grand final and is apparently eliminated. We reached out to AKEN and Red Bull to find out why – and will update this article if we hear anything.
ANES was a replacement for Granit Gaming on the NLC for a few months earlier this year, but didn’t play a game for them.
The list of finalists and where they qualified is as follows:
- TheRuneLoL – Germany
- arnax – Lithuania
- The warmest man in the world / HKWarmboy – Hong Kong
- Plant – Egypt
- Doxa – Canada
- Languages - France
- Arn0 – Switzerland
- Vighomopsen – Denmark
- You Mert BRO – Greece
- Ηikaru Nakamura – Romania
- Shakara – Romania

- Ptatis – Sweden
- Lebanon Flamers – Kuwait
- NEC B0nd – Spain
- Vighomopsen – Denmark
- HULKSMASH3131 – -Turkey
- bradleyyy – United States
- DarkWings – USA
The final takes place on the Howling Abyss ARAM Map in the game, while the BMW Welt is transformed into an “immersive environment inspired by the Howling Abyss Map”.
A single round robin group stage will begin on December 4th from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. GMT, while the playoffs and final of the single elimination brackets will take place on December 5 from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. GMT.
In Red Bull Solo Q, players must either draw the first blood, destroy the opponent’s tower, or be the first to reach 100 cs to win. It is a testing ground for amateur / semi-professional players who want to make a name for themselves.
