League of Legends Dev Tracker

hey hey! Sound designer here (sorry for being late). Thanks for the comments - I did end up changing the SFX based off some feedback. It's in the second video on the original link to this!

Yes! The VP from this beta will progress the same VP track as the previous ones, so earning the next level of banners is possible.

Our goal for these tests are to validate the changes we've been working on in the last few months to make Clash a stable experience. We had a huge response in Brazil, and got way more teams than we expected, and the part of the system that failed last time went better. The bad news is, that uncovered another problem further down the line, resulting in the platform getting crushed under the load despite our efforts to stagger game starts. This is exactly why we're doing these betas so we can be better prepared for launch. If you're interested in more info, check out the thread in BR forums.

We have solid next steps to address the issues we saw in BR yesterday and we're excited for the NA test tomorrow.

Hey we're pushing back the start time to 6 pm. Normally we'd have two flights of tournaments, at 5 and 7pm but since we're doing one for the one-day beta, we hope 6pm is going to work better for players on both coasts.

I hope it gets a lot more attention, too! I think it's one of the best features ever written about LoL esports. :)

As the editor (with very limited k-pop knowledge) for this... I just gotta say... well played, Cathy.

Correct, matches start on Friday for NA and Saturday for EUW and EUN

Always have been a big fan of O’gaming. Have been watching their stream since the early days.

This Worlds has been so full of upsets that maybe the 'Eyes On' curse will finally be defeated? ...

Rip G2.

But seriously, I loved this episode -- send a msg to or call your mom!!! I also loved the bit at the end where G2 took a second to recognize how important the win was -- "We beat the #1 Chinese team so we can beat the #2 Chinese team." Amazing to be able to contextualize it as you're ending the game.

We're always trying to get the first jump on a new attack vector, including things like this. To be truly successful in Anti-Cheat, you need to be proactive rather than reactive.

This isn't true anymore. The scripting community at large's general expectation is sometime within a week of use, and Korea's bans to occur within an hour of use.

We have a strong, deeply held hatred for Geology amongst the team. Rocks think they're so cool ... just sitting there ... well they're NOT!

Hey there!

It's a somewhat cliche answer, but I'd say there's no real specific skill set, as there are a bunch of different types of roles. With educational background, we have those who were almost exclusively self-taught with no college education, to PhD candidates. Each role within the team requires a different skillset, and we seek to have a diversity in knowledge so that we can have a multi-faceted approach. Majority of the team does have some sort of computer science background, but the specialties widely vary - we're far from all sysinternals guys.

I actually come from a completely different work space than video game cheating - I come from the world of online poker security. However, the team took a chance on my threat assessment and problem solving abilities to have carryover into the Anti-Cheat space, and I think this highlights how pragmatic we're willing to be in looking for what the "right fit" is.

I'd say the commonality between the team is a...

As a top lane main, this is what Sion looks like to me regardless. I won't ban you for this, but I WILL ban Sion.

In regards to a cheat that relies on CV - yes, we've seen it recently, but the effectiveness is pretty limited.

Regardless of effectiveness though, we'll still ban if it's actively seeking to give an unfair advantage.

Yeah, pretty much this. They aren't currently being banned but anytime you're tampering with the game's code, you're stepping into murky waters.

BWAAANNNNNG :O

This is so freaking rad!! Nice work! Thanks for sharing! :D

(Now someone make a 1 hour version of this pl0x)

We'll open it up to more regions in time. We want to take it slow and steady this time. There'll be more Clash news in the upcoming weeks.
