Austria and Germany to face off in historic "League of Legends" esports duel

Vienna is set to become a hub for gaming enthusiasts as the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) hosts the fifth edition of the Esports Festival, running concurrently with the (analog) Spielefest on July 11 and 12. This year's event marks a significant milestone: the national esports teams of Austria and Germany will face each other for the first time in a "League of Legends" duo event.

The dual festival format aims to cater to a wide range of gaming interests, bringing together both digital and physical gaming experiences.
