Clash Returns to League of Legends for One Day Test in Oceania
By Zac Cameron ·
After the failed worldwide launch a couple of weeks ago, Riot Games is testing the game type with a one day event on the Oceanic Server this week.
Riot Games is getting ready to test out their highly anticipated Clash tournament feature once again, starting with a single server, single day test run to take place this week. This follows the disastrous worldwide rollout last week that saw the game mode disabled on all servers after a bug that seemed to award losses at random, that would have cost thousands of players their game wins and Clash tokens. As compensation, Riot Games enabled the highly popular ARURF game mode instead, though that was not without its own problems.
The Clash Tournament mode will be run on the Oceanic server as a single day test on Tuesday, June 5th, with Riot Games closely monitoring the servers to see whether the last weeks’ worth of fixes are sufficient. Players can participate in the test without purchasing a Clash Ticket, and there are guaranteed rewards for everyone participating. The rewards on offer aren’t the usual Clash rewards however, but rather a guaranteed Clash Orb, a Summoner Icon for winning the bracket, and an exclusive beta-only banner for reaching 500 Victory Points. The banner and icon will not be available when Clash is relaunched for good.
