Champions is in Istanbul, so I was wondering what the best arena would be for the event and what arena you guys think it will probably be in. I'll list a few here by size:

Sinan Erdem Dome This looks like the biggest arena in Istanbul, but Riot may not have been able to get this venue because it looks busy
Ülker Sports Arena Same as above, just a little smaller
Hamdi Akın Sports Hall
TVF 50th Anniversary Sport Hall
Ataköy Athletics Arena
TVF Burhan Felek Sport Hall
Volkswagen Arena Looks like the most likely venue for Riot to pick but with a crowd of only 5,000 max I hope it's not here
I really hope it's not anywhere smaller

I really hope they aim high. Pump out marketing and Champions will be huge.

Volkswagen Arena would be the best choice if BBL doesn't qualify (in terms of getting it full) I think.

i think most of the champs will be in a smaller arena 5-10k and the last 4 matches will be in a big arena just like copenhagen had no crowd then a different arena for the last 4 big matches

Doesn't matter how big arena is, Turkish fans won't buy tickets because they don't have a single team at the tournament (Riot ignored their region's potential)
