Ashe will be free digitally on Universe with a physical print of the whole series next year that can be purchased.
so good!
Nice to hear! Do you stream at all anymore? Haven't seen you online in a while.
Recently, I've been pretty crunched on time so sadly no :/ But I'm trying to get my work/life balance in order so I can stream more!
Holy f**k that's right, you work for Riot now.
How's it going over there?
Awesome, love my job :)
We dont joke about that. Stop playing with my heart man

It's Zoe 2.0
That is f*cking hawt
As I understand Riot doesn't want the cheap publicity of donating to charities nor putting one type of charity above others. So they usually keep their donations quiet, but they do donate large sums every year.
Issue with promoting any one type of charity is that it feels so bad for all the other charities that are ignored who may arguably deserve it more. How do you choose between helping starving children or war veterans or natural disaster relief and so on. It's very hard, so Riot just donates to a bunch of charities behind the scenes.
Just to add a bit more context - we try to base all of our social impact "investments" around the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. We've done a lot of research into what SDG's are the most important in each region and try make sure we're supporting the causes that matter most in each region.
That's why we saw such a large smattering of different orgs supported as part of ou...

Hey y’all. I worked in college lol for a few years in college and absolutely loved the experience. I think y’all are doing great work and I’m grateful for the time I spent there. 1. What, if anything, is Riot Games doing to support the development of varsity esports programs? 2. What is the vision for College LoL? 3. Does Riot Games perform any eligibility checks aside from the behavioral checks in College LoL? For example, for academic eligibility? Do you think that Riot Games should or should not? 4. Are there any checks on players registering on their main account, or playing on a shared account? What are your thoughts on this from a competitive integrity standpoint. Many teams will register players on an alternate account to get a leg up over the competition in scouting, for example. 5. Who is the best DDR competitive player at Riot Games? And why is it Tiza? 6. Favorite meme from a college twitch stream?

Read moreParticipation in the poll was low because it was extremely tedious to fill out. It required coaches to state a specific school for each numerical ranking, all the way from 1 to 25. This is slightly easier near the top (1-10), since the highest seeded schools tend to stand out from the rest, but towards the middle (rank 10 and lower) it became increasingly difficult to know which schools to put, as it is somewhat unreasonable to expect a coach in the current competitive scene to even be familiar with the rosters of 24 other schools, let alone to be able to rank them in strict order.
An easier system would be similar to how MVP voting works - give each coach a selection of three choices, #1, #2, and #3, with each selection being worth a certain number of points relative to the ranking (higher ranking = more points), and then cumulatively add up all of the points for each school listed and rank the coaches' top 25 in that fashion. You might not end up with 25 schools actually...
Participation in the poll was low because it was extremely tedious to fill out.
Totally. To clarify, I'm not saying that it was the coaches fault, it was definitely an implementation problem. It wasn't even easy to look up stats back then for each team. We ended up deprioritizing content all together, but this is one that's high on our list to look back into for 2019.
what do you guys think of NACE? is it legitimate? they have called themselves official, but i know developers don't like that term when it comes to their game. UCI has not participated in non-official leagues for our varsity scholarship teams because we know about developers' sentiments towards those things. however, stuff like NACE is getting a lot of traction in the community, and is being used a "standard" when it comes to collegiate play discussion. are you guys going to release a statement on NACE and other orgs like them?
edit: should teams invest in non-official leagues (like NACE) as well as the official one (College LoL)? is there a legitimacy issue there, or should universities stick to the official one?
Let me start out by being clear that NACE doesn't and isn't allowed to run any League of Legends competitions. That goes for any companies that call themselves a governing body for college esports. As far as we're concerned, Riot is the governing body of League of Legends in college. If a school wants to win the college championship or wants all the benefits of officially sanctioning esports at their university, it's important for them to understand that becoming a NACE member is not a requirement for that, as schools like UCI and Utah have shown. I won't tell a school that they shouldn't put money towards NACE, but it's important for them to understand that it's not a barrier to entry.
Any advice on finding people to join your college team? I only know of one other person who plays league at my college but I’m almost certain there’s more
Look for a subreddit for your school and try posting there. That used to work when I was in college, and I saw my alma maters coach post there the other day.
Some schools have are have/are in the process of creating full stadium esports arena. Is there a possibility of including these venues in conference playoffs?
Yes! We always send links to these venues as we see them to our conference partners to make sure they know all their options when designing their season and schedule. We're unlikely to make the regional conferences playoffs into live events though.
