What is it that causes these issues on the EU servers and not on the NA?
I'm not a network engineer so I cannot speak directly to the specifics, but different load patterns and traffic dependency management services can cause issues in some areas and not others.
Hey everyone, we have a more visible update coming out in more formal channels, but I wanted to jump in here and provide as much context as I can surrounding the decision. It was definitely a tough one to make, but I think ultimately the right one.
Given the game start and network issues that EUW and EUN were seeing over the past two days, there was a significant amount of risk tied to launching Clash on top of that. When it came down to it, we didnt have a hard confidence value that we could hang our hats on that the issues with the servers would be fixed by launch.
In order to protect the experience for both the players who had signed up for Clash and those that wanted to play in other League queues we decided to make the hard decision to postpone to next weekend instead of adding a significantly larger load to an unsolved problem.
I know this isn't the best news late on a Friday, but we hope it results in a more positive experience when it's live.
...Abuse of the system is definitely something that we take very seriously. Behavioral volatility in games takes away the agency at which you can perform and progress to the best of your ability. Any attempt to undermine the validity of your hard work by circumventing the system is just not ok.
We're actively taking a look at ways we can better protect all players from negative behaviors out of their control so you have a fair and even playing field as much as possible.
This is so amazing. Love to see the competitive scene grow naturally and sustainably.
We'll be taking this down this afternoon. In the meantime we changed it so it shouldn't pop up anymore. Hope that fixed it for you. :)
How about getting those still stuck in 'Scouting for Clash' lobbies out?
The team is working to resolve that issue as soon as possible.
Hey Everyone!
We're actively monitoring all regions currently participating in our weekend Clash Global Beta.
So far, EUW and KR have undergone separate, but painful issues that caused Clash to get in a bad state in both regions. We've submitted fixes for these regions and those tournaments for tomorrow should be good to go.
In addition, tournaments tomorrow (12/8) in EUW and KR will not have an entry fee and tickets that were purchased for Saturday will be returned later this week.
We also saw an issue with our game map in OCE that has since been resolved.
Overall, our Oceania, EUN, TR, JP, RU, BR, LAS regions are performing admirably and we're excited for tomorrow's matches. NA and LAN tournaments will be starting shortly.
The team will continue to actively monitor ongoing tournaments this weekend are working diligently to support every region.
EDIT: We've made some changes to EUW and players who were stuck should be able...
Read moreI live for these games...seriously. It's one of the primary reasons I love group competitive play so much. Those feelings come so much more frequently when you remove the majority of volatility that comes with 10 random people coming together.
Clash could prove to be the mode that brings this feeling more consistently. I'm excited to see where we can take it in the next couple iterations.

Yes, you'll still be eligible for rewards.
Do you need to be honor level 2?
For this Global Beta launch we will not be requiring a certain honor level to participate.
I'm digging this extension. Really interested to see how it grows! Definitely going to try it out and see how it adapts to my viewing patterns over time.
It's weird that this doesn't show up on Twitch page itself.
You should be able to see it in two places.
