2022's Championship event for the Pokemon franchise will be hosted at the ExCel London Events Center in London, England. This event will take place from August 18 to August 21. The first day of the event will feature the qualifier rounds for each event, followed by invitationals the next day.

While many players look forward to attending this event in person, there is going to be a large group of enthusiasts who cannot make the trip. Luckily, there is a Twitch account for the Championship event's video game competitions. The official Pokemon website also provides a livestream.

While the Pokemon Unite Championships will still be played in the same building, it will have a slightly different points system than other events. The official Pokemon website has detailed information about the point system for Pokemon Unite as well as the point systems for other games and for the card game.

This year's Championship event is expected to bring a whole new audience in with how many fans enjoy Pokemon Unite. The game's unique take on the Pokemon franchise has quickly grown from a niche mobile game to a big deal for the playerbase of both Pokemon and other MOBA games.

Once again, if fans would like to visit the Pokemon World Championship, they will be held in London, England. The event starts on August 18 and goes until August 21. This event is stretched slightly longer than usual, which gives all the more reason to visit the ExCel London event center while it hosts the yearly event.
