In response to the official launch of LoR via PC and mobile, along with the release of the Rising Tides expansion, Twitch Rivals will showcase top streamers on May 14. Coverage of the tournament begins at 9am CT on Twitch Rivals’ official stream. 

Twitch Rivals LoR format

Riot has yet to announce an official competitive format for LoR, allowing flexibility for orginizations hosting community events. Twitch Rivals has chosen to go with a one-vs-one Conquest best-of-three format that includes a number of specific rules.

  • Three decks are submitted per competitor. 
  • Before each best-of-three match, players will ban one deck that their opponent can’t play.
  • To win a match, a competitor wins two games within a best-of-three match, each with an unbanned deck.
  • Three rounds of Swiss will feed into a single-elimination upper and lower bracket. 
  • There’s a 50-minute time limit per match. If the time should run out, players may take three more turns to decide a winner. 

Prize money

Following three rounds of Swiss, players are split into an upper and lower bracket. Each bracket will reward players with earnings for first through eighth place. 

Upper bracket payout

First$20,000
Second$15,000
