Schedule and format

The Rise of the Elements Invitational is a two-day event that runs from Oct. 30 to 31.

Day one of the competition begins at 11am CT. Two groups of eight players will square off in five matches, earning points based on where they place. There will also be alternate win conditions that grant extra points when specific challenges are completed. This will allow competitors to “show off more strategy and variety in their playstyles,” according to Riot. The top-four players from each group will advance to day two.

Day two, taking place on Halloween, also begins at 11am CT. The final eight players will play indefinitely until one contestant racks up three wins.

Prize pool

The Rise of the Elements Invitational winner will earn $15,000 and a custom TFT jacket with a “special lining that memorializes their most loyal of followers,” according to Riot. Players who make it to day two will earn $10,750 each, and players who don’t make it out of the first day of the competition will still earn $7,500 each.

Where to watch

The main stream will be broadcasted on the LoL Esports YouTube channel and the Riot Games Twitch channel. Fans can also tune in to any of the participants’ channels since they’ll all be streaming the competition as well.

Watch rewards

TFT fans can earn an in-game mystery emote by simply watching one match live on the LoL Esports YouTube channel. All viewers need to do is link their Riot account to their YouTube account to be eligible. Fans who receive the reward will be notified on the email address that’s associated with that League of Legends account.
