Community

Watch. Cheer. Win!

With the return of Arena, we are kicking off the Empyrean Games - a dynamic creator-exclusive challenge rolling out across the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region. By supporting your favourite creators, whether in chat or being their duo, you stand the chance to win Empyrean skins, Champion statues, plushes, chests and more.

Performance in the challenge can be tracked via our new platform, FTW (For The Win), where you’ll find real-time leaderboards, leaderboard filtering by country, and more. Only invited creators will be able to take part in Empyrean Games, but the platform will be open for anyone to view and follow along.

Interesting, tell me more…




Empyrean Games will start on Tuesday 21st May and last for three weeks until Monday 10th June, featuring over 100 of EMEA’s top League content creators. New names are being added every day, but you can expect to see the following familiar faces taking part:
