This article provides an overview of League of Legends Clash including the requirements for forming a team, how to enter tournaments, preparing for matches and rewards that can be earned.
League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena video game that was first released in 2009. In the ensuing years, it has become one of the world’s most popular video games. It is highly competitive and notoriously hard to improve rankings leading some to use a League of Legends boosting service to assist them. A mobile version of the game, League of Legends: Wild Rift came out in 2020 around the same time as Destiny 2 became available on mobile devices. Also in 2020 League of Legends successfully launched their Clash mode which had been in the works for several years.
Clash is a competitive game mode in League of Legends where teams made up of 5 players compete against other teams at the same skill level. Clash tournaments will be held every other weekend. There will be two tournaments over the weekend, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Teams can join an 8 team bracket on either day or both days. Winning all three rounds of the same tournament wins a trophy as well as other prizes. Teams can only join one bracket per day, and are locked in once they have joined.
Players have the option of forming their own team or joining an existing one. There are some requirements that have to be met in order to create or be a member of a Clash team. All players on a team must have:
Every member of the team must also have at least one ticket entry into clash. The team captain will be responsible for adding and removing members. Team selection can begin the Monday before the start of the tournament. The captain will also select the name, tag, and logo that the team will be competing under. To start the process the captain should go to the League of Legends Clash tab and select “Create Team”. From there it is just a matter of following the instructions.
Once the team is complete it will be assigned a tier. The tier is assignment is determined by the average of all team members’ skill level. There are four tiers with Tier 1 being the highest and Tier IV being the lowest. Teams are matched against opponents of the same skill level as indicated by the tier level they are assigned.
To enter a Clash tournament bracket every team member will need either a Basic or Premium ticket. The Basic ticket can be purchased with 990 blue essence or 195 RP. A Premium ticket will cost 975 RP. It is up to individual team members which ticket they use. The only difference is that Premium ticket entries earn better rewards.
Each bracket will be made up of 8 teams of approximately the same skill level. Clash tournaments are single elimination but there is a consolation bracket for teams that lose their first match. If you don’t win your bracket on Saturday you can still enter a tournament bracket on Sunday.
All team members must lock in before the start of their first match which secures the team slot in the tournament. This usually takes place around 30 minutes before the match, but the actual lock in time is determined by your tier level. If any member of a team fails to lock in the team won’t be entered into the bracket.
Once all team members are locked in there will be a brief period of time to prepare for your match.
Teams need to make efficient use of the time available and members should strategize and pass along any tips they may have that will improve their chances of winning.
Players have chosen their champions and the team has developed a strategy to take their opponents down. There is nothing left but to play the match. There are a couple of differences in Clash matches that aren’t seen in regular play.
So what exactly do you win in Clash tournaments? There are three main types of rewards:
