Riot Takes Over Southeast Asia Publishing for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics
The wait is over for Southeast Asian players as Riot Games officially becomes the publisher of League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics in the region. Previously, these games were managed by Garena from 2010 to 2022. To celebrate this transition, local players are being gifted with all League champions released until 2021, completely free of charge.
League of Legends currently offers over 160 champions, with Riot consistently adding an average of five new releases each year. This can be overwhelming for new players or for those who need to change servers and start over, which is the case for many players in Southeast Asia.
Welcome Party on SEA Servers
Riot has organized a special “welcome party” for both new players and those who recently migrated their Garena League accounts to the SEA servers. According to the official page, players can expect a series of exciting welcome events and rewards.
Rewards and Benefits
Aside from receiving all the champions for free, welcome missions offer players tokens and special loot. Players can also use treasure tokens to redeem Legendary and Ultimate League skins, as well as rare Little Legends for TFT. However, these rewards are only available to eligible users, which includes new players from Southeast Asia and those who link their Garena accounts.
Smooth Transition and Upcoming Season
Riot has followed a seamless process, starting with account linking in November 2022, to ensure a smooth transition for Southeast Asian players. The SEA servers are now live, and players’ progress in TFT has automatically carried over. The 2023 ranked season will commence on January 12, 2023, shortly after the Season Kickoff event.
