Bring a Riot Game's event to Canada

The Issue

A lot of Riot's events are advertised as North American events but not once has Riot come to Canada, which makes up a very very large portion of North America, There is a HUGE fan base for league in Canada, infact i think there are enough of us to make a difference

you now probably telling yourself that there is nowhere in Canada to host any of this, may i suggest the ACC (Air Canada Center) home of the Toronto Raptors and the Maple Leafs Host of the 2016 NBA all star weekend or the skydome (Rogers Center) home of the Toronto Blue Jays  or how about the Olympic stadium in Quebec or the Commonwealth stadium in Edmonton which can hold up to 56,302 people 

these places are all fitting to host some league of legends 

We Canadians have given a lot of players to the professional scene and its time Riot gave back,examples of these players include TheOddOne, Maplestreet and HotShotGG as well as talented SoloQueue player Gosu for a full list of Canadian players visit http://lol.gamepedia.com/Category:Canada

so for those of you who do not play League of Legends why should you sign this petition? 

The simple answer is, to let Canadians see what esports are like with our own eyes live instead of through our monitors 

EDIT:  As most of us are aware that having part of Worlds in Canada will cause a lot of issues with VISA's, I wanted to tell you all that this is directed to any Riot event not just worlds. Even without the VISA issues worlds is a little unrealistic as it has already been announced and venues have most likely already been booked but lets shoot for the next closest event who's location has yet to be announced NA LCS summer Final's

Sincrely, Blisside
