not too sure if I understand this correctly.
He will be developping the german league scene?
Yes, he will be working on the national/regional level and develop the scene in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I hope we can share more details with you all very soon. :)
DACH?
It stands for Germany (D), Austria (A) and Switzerland (CH).
Thanks for the nice words.
It should also be inspiring for people out there to know that you don't have to be good at league of legends to join Riot.
I am Gold, have some respect!!!
Head of "Esports" :D
(This is our welcome roast.)
No, it's german for "roof"!
ROOF!
9 minutes they said the same thing for NA. Don't have access to my comp to check right now, but I'm excited for some URF even if it's ARURF (I hope they kept the mark summoner spell)
It should be active on NA as well!
Is trading disabled in urf?
It shouldn't, so it might be a bug. We're looking into it, but obviously not sure if it is fixable. :(

Exactly, we've announced yesterday night that we can't run Clash on EUW or EUNE. :(
Hey! Thanks for bringing that up for attention. Now I have a reason I can state why I'm still in silver after so many years.
But yeah, that shouldn't happen. Usually numbers and stuff is pulled directly from a database, so we don't have to change it everytime we change numbers. All the buffs and nerfs every second week... It looks like in this case there is a stray %. Usually we would write it 20% in German, here it is shown as 20 %.
I'll hijack that comment to tackle a similar problem, regarding hotfixes.
NA version of the 8.1 patch notes: Correct info, first hotfix on the 31st of May and second one on the 1st of June.
English EU version of the patch notes: First hotfix on the 1st of June (surely correct as well due to timezones), second hotfix on the... 1st of July??
French version of the patch notes: First hotfix on the 31st of May. And that's it. The French patch notes never mention another hotfix. So if you play browse with the site in French (which is the default if you're French), you have no way to know about that second hotfix which contains five huge champion/item changes.
Edit: Same issue with all other non-English EUW patch notes.
Hey Naerlyn, I'll pass that on. Unfortunately hotfixes are always a pain for localization, because they are often coming in "hot", and during a time when our localization team isn't working. However it should be usually updated the next day.
it even happens from time to time, that german patch notes and english ones differ from each other
Yeah, it shouldn't happen, but obviously they are getting submitted for localization a couple of days in advance, and sometimes a change is reverted or taken out at the last minute, but it isn't reported to the loc team. In such cases you sometimes have a previous version, but we try to keep track as good as we can to avoid it.
I've been going to gamescom for the past 6 years now, going again this year. I thought it was really weird that they stopped attending Gamescom. When they were there, they easily took up half of the hall they were in. I can understand not wanting to do lcs playoffs there anymore, but you can attend without an esports event and still make a lot of people happy.
Even now that LoL isn't at Gamescom anymore, you still see loads of LoL cosplayers. There are even a lot of people playing LoL at booths that aren't even being hosted by Riot, and there are always loads of people there to watch it. Really hope they decide to come back one year.
Hi Firedrakez,
we're still actively supporting the Cosplay Community at gamescom every year, be it with prices or some € to help them rent the space for their Cosplay Booth. We do the same with all the booths that wants to play League. We supply them with accounts or the tournament realm and help them design small little tournaments.
I was with Riot at gamescom from 2012 to 2015 and I still miss it, but Draggles already pointed out some of the challenges we face. It is really hard to put up an event for so many people and making it a great experience. This year we have a "small" tournament on Saturday at the ESL stage, so definitely stop by and say hi to my colleagues and me if you are still there. :) Also don't miss the League of Legends Cosplay contest on Thursday evening!

- Video created in collaboration with Riot Games for League of Legends Germany *
In the description. So they probably did that
Yep, exactly :) It's always a pleasure to work with Diyyo. He creates such powerful and beautiful videos <3 If you haven't subscribed to his channel you should!
We should hire you for the 2019 Worlds video. ;)
Reminder: never plan big articles before taking exams!
Jokes aside, it has been a fun one to write, and I hope we've been spot on for everything we described.
#ESGWIN!
By the way Premier Tour Quarterfinals will be streamed tomorrow (Sunday) from 12pm CET. Tune in, it's going to be fun! Channel is twitch.tv/riotgamesde
Semifinals and Finals will be in the LEC Studios next weekend - this is the first time a regional league will use the studios.
[removed]
The current format was supposed to fit the semi finals in one day, but thanks for your feedback. We're definitely revisiting it for future splits.
Btw. we will have a pre show at 16:30 CET. Don't miss out! <3
And for the Berliners, we still have some tickets up for grabs. Come by the studio and say hi.
ok
ok.
Hey all, more explanation about this here: https://euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/store/store-update/compensation-tokens-arcade-pass-holders
So yes, this is for the server troubles in the beginning. We know a lot of you were unable to play / gather tokens. <3
I mean, it is pretty convenient to stop giving out the MSI rewards, the year EU wins it...Who do we have to talk to?
Well, the whole Mid-Season-Trials was planned long before the spring split even started. But yeah, if you believe in the theory that somebody at the Riot HQ hates Europeans it all fits. ;)
It is always easier to remember the "bad experiences". Last year we made an EU only event on EUW and EUNE with ingame rewards and everyone else globally was upset and blew up reddit.
