How about an "in-game" show down with some nice rewards.

Not everyone goes to comic con....

🤔 summoner showdown or exclusive YouTube creators?

This was the announcement?

They said the announcement would be at 4-4:30 PST/7-7:30 EST. The announcement shouldn’t be for another hour and 40 or so minutes. I really hope this isn’t THE announcement, and that there is an actually good announcement coming (doubt it though, since this is kabam).

Kabam, please tell me this isn’t the “big announcement” you were talking about. I was promised a big announcement that would affect me, not some tournament that affects me in no way whatsoever and that I quite frankly couldn’t care less about.

@Kabam Miike can you confirm wether or not this is the “big announcement” we were promised, or is there something a little bit... less underwhelming in store?

I was actually just about to post how I think most of the ”content” creators get unfairly treated but this evens it out. I’m glad to see they are finally getting their fair shake.

what about the ones who weren't invited

but i'm not bitter at all.............

I honestly don't see very many people (outside of Kabam or those participating) really caring about this at all.

I'm sure it's exciting for the participants though.

You have something in common with Proff Hoff. Maybe you two can do a colab on something similiar?

I don't see how this could be remotely possible. Thousands, if not tens of thousands of people watch streamers play the game normally. The idea that only a tiny number would be interested in a tournament of players seems to not reflect reality.

While it may not be for everyone, a lot of people all around the world tuned in to see the semi-finals and finals of the NYCC Tournament last year.

Although you may not be tuning in, others might, and might really enjoy the idea of watching other parts of their Community compete in the first Tournament for a game that they enjoy!

Some might find this underwhelming, but others definitely do not.

This is the first big tournament that we've been a part of, with some of our community's favourite Content Creators and some of our most experienced and accomplished players taking the stage to Compete to prove that they are the best!

I would say most find it underwhelming, when we hear big announcement we thought it would be something in game as in a update to some old stuff or some new content, not people from youtube get to do a tournament and we could watch them.

Ten thousand people is a relatively minor stream.

I see some issues about this "announcement" is because:
1. it does not affect us whatsoever
2. this is for those mcoc content creators to participate in and not us players
3. not everyone can go to comic con to see the tournament

the main issue I see with this is that...why should we care?
we don't get to participate at all, other than watching three content creators fight some tough champ and see who would win. we don't get rewarded for watching, we just see whoever wins and that's it.

this is honestly pretty disappointing.

Noob2435

What would be cool though, is if we were able to pick who we think would win and everyone gets a participation prize, but if you pick the right person you get a bigger prize. Maybe by giving everyone 1k of some type of currency in game and putting in store something that would go in their inventory. Example if I believe star would win I spend that 1k on a red star in game which goes to my inventory and that way the game can tell which rewards I get participation prize or winner prize, depending on how star does. Just a thought it would also get more people involved but, mcoc might not be able to do something like that.

True, I need to remember things like the Kardashians and the Bachelorette exist and people watch those...

I like being the counterculture guy
1) not everything needs to affect u
2)it’s just an announcement telling u something is happening
3)they’re just telling u that it’s available to watch

I can definitely tell you like being the counterculture guy with that 210 disagrees

So lame. Why hype up something that affects like 30 people? How about do something for the entire player base.

In game gambling. I love it. Maybe even keep it simple: Wager 100k gold that a specific players win their matchup, if you guess right you get 200k gold. Guess wrong and you lose the bet. Set limits on how much that can be wagered (to limit abuse). We have that in AFK Arena, and it's a fun little addition.

When you say a champion will be revealed do you mean for October Event Quest or champion as one of the winners from the tourney?

So much for big announcement

Ten thousand people is a relatively minor stream.

That's true, but the point is that if that order of magnitude people will watch individual streamers, it is far more likely that the number of people who would watch a sanctioned tournament would be far higher, not lower.

Werewrym

I was excited when I saw the title for a minute, then I realized it only applies to “special” players. Summoners have been asking for in game tournaments for years and this is the best we get? Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still probably watch the streams, but how about try to include the whole community in on something like this rather than make those of us who can’t participate feel like we’re left out.

Sheer_Cold

Ah dang I saw the Title and thought this was an in-game 3 v 3 arena

Also I doubt 10000 people will actually watch this and if it does it’ll probabaly be at the start and then the numbers will drastically drop
