SIDO has launched its new League of Legends Path2Pro program to foster greater opportunities for North American players to enter the League of Legends esports ecosystem.
A select few will be chosen to participate in a month-long boot camp in Seoul, South Korea, where they will receive intensive training designed to hone their skills and test their competitive mettle against international talent. In addition to in-game training, the Path2Pro program offers optional seminars focused on holistic player development. These sessions will cover essential topics such as health, nutrition, and fitness routines to promote overall well-being.
The Path2Pro program's online application process will run from late October through November and last approximately three weeks.
Applications are open and close on October 13th at 5 p.m. PT. Eligibility requirements state that applicants must be residents of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, at least 16 years old, and have achieved a peak rank of Masters or above in solo queue during the current year.
