We're running some scripts to make sure everyone gets credit for what they already watched, and that's rolling as we speak. If you still don't see mission progression by the time you tune in to watch day 2, reach out to Player Support and they can help get you caught up.

Hey all! I want to let you all know that we located an issue with the Worlds Watch Missions and are making some corrections so that things work better. The team and I have been working around the clock to get this resolved, and we're all super thankful for you all watching; we're sorry things started off wonky again as both a team and fans.

Hey all! We found a technical issue with the watch mission that was causing the problem and have made some corrections to resolve it. As for the comment that this always happens on day one, all I can say is that I'm sorry on behalf of the team who puts this together and I hope you all know we're working as hard as we can to get everything in good order ASAP.

Hey all! I wanted to pop in and provide some additional information on the YouTube program. If you are interested in participating, you'll need to link your Riot account over on YouTube. Once linked, watch any of the World Championship games during Play Ins and then wait about 24 hours to get your loot. Once Group Stage begins, logging in and watching over on lolesports.com will allow you to participate in the lolesports.com Drops & Watch Missions program.

Each region had a different plan and limitations for their program. We also had made some assumptions about some of the reward content that we couldn't lock down in time. For next season, we're working with the leagues who will be doing drops to level up what we did for our first attempt.

LOL, all good, puns aside. :P Thanks for providing the feedback! We're focused on doing everything we can, usually with limitations, and it's nice to get your perspective.

The broadcasts will often start prior to the first match of the day, so check out the top nav bar on lolesports.com for when matches kick off.

Thanks for the feedback! There are some limitations that drove us to the program we're launching, but that solution definitely comes with some tradeoffs, and this is a big one. All I can promise is that I hear you and will work to focus harder next year on trying to find a better solution, hopefully without the same limitations we had this year.

Alienware is not one of the sponsors who will be participating in Drops for Worlds. I believe there was an issue with a drop they had that we had to work to correct with them during summer LCS, but that drop is not part of Worlds at this time.

The program with YouTube is for linking your account with them. Once linked, watch one of the play in games over there and then you should receive a reward within about 24 hours. From group stage onward, we're offering exclusive drops for fans who are logged in and watching on lolesports.com specifically. They are two separate programs that happen to have similar timing.

I'll take it to the team! TY for the suggestion!

We're dropping a bunch of stuff, some in game, some out of game, with a brand new set of custom Drop card art specific to Worlds. There's a section in the bottom middle of the article about the stuff we're dropping. :D

Some of the Drops will have a special rare reward associated to them and you'll be issued the drop with no action on your part. If you're one of the lucky ones, you'll get a little extra something with your drop, otherwise you get the main reward and drop. If you miss the drop, that's okay...we're not changing the drop from a rare to a common, for example, if you don't click it. If you get a rare, you get the rare. :)

Unfortunately, not at this time.

It SHOULD just arrive in your league account once the linking is complete and you watch a game during Play Ins (similar to the Twitch Prime loot if you had participated in that), but if you don't see something definitely contact Player Support.

That was one of the trade-offs we had to make due to a few things, and we're working with the teams that produce rebroadcasts to see what might work better in the future. There are a few ways to snag some rewards, via Pick Em and Watch Missions, but Drops won't be part of any rebroadcasts.

Yeah, we're working on trying to make that better and will get an update out there as soon as it passes the tests. It's one of the side effects of how we try to remain secure.

Hey there! As fellow fans from the West, we're also bummed out about the timing. In trying to bring this product to fans in time for the tenth anniversary of Worlds, we had to make some tradeoffs, and one of them was around the rebroadcast. You can still receive Watch Rewards for viewing VODs as you had been able to do in the past, but Drops are specific to the live games, albeit very early in the morning. We're looking forward to seeing how this year's plan goes so that we can get more time to make something that works in all time zones for next year's events.

Hey there! many of us are in the same boat and won't be able to watch live, but that was something we had to balance when bringing the drops feature to Worlds this year, especially given some limitations we faced thanks to the global pandemic. The drops will fire off for fans who are logged in and watching, and all drops are passive, meaning you don't have to click on them to get them; you simply have to click the notification or visit the Drops page to see what you got, Ultra-Rare or otherwise. In the meantime, there are still Watch Rewards, Worlds Pass Missions, and Pick 'Em for the times when most of us are normally awake in the West.

Hey there! We had to balance a few things to bring this feature to Worlds this year while also battling some of the realities of the global pandemic, and as such we had to limit it to the live games due to how we're triggering the drops. Having said that, there are still Watch Rewards, Worlds Pass Missions, and Pick Em if you can't get up super early to watch live.
