Players can check their Riot and Garena account shard/regions to see if they match.If you try to connect to a new Account, or to an account with no connected League of Legends account, its shard will automatically convert to match your Garena account’s shard. I instead have to make a new Riot account to connect to. As my Garena League account has a Philippines Shard, I cannot link it to that Riot account.
For example, I have a Riot account that has a NA and a JP League of Legends account attached to it.
Region lock exists to some extent in Riot accounts. A Riot Account with the same Shard as your Garena League Account. As such, you might as well just make a new account. If your League Account does not have any of this, there is nothing to transfer. This also comes in the form of RP purchases, skin unlocks, and more. This includes champion masteries, match histories, and the like. Garena accounts you wish to connect to a Riot account MUST HAVE some form of progression. Your Garena League of Legends account must have some form of Data Progression. Other than that, SEA players will also start using the official Riot client, instead of the Garena one that we’ve been using for years.īefore linking your accounts, however, there are some things that you have to check before starting the transfer. There will also be a welcome event on January 13, 2023, which could give rewards to players who take part in it. The incentives include missions that let you get skins, as well as unlocking all Champions up to Vex. This comes with a lot of incentives for players. To be specific, the Riot servers will open for play on Januin SEA. This makes it easier for the account migration to take place once Riot officially takes over in Early January 2023. To help with this transfer, Riot said that players can start linking their Garena accounts to Riot ones. Players can finally start connecting their Garena accounts to Riot ones to prepare for the migration happening next year as Garena transfers its publishing rights back to Riot.Īs Riot announced before, they will be taking over the publishing of League of Legends and Temfight Tactics in SEA.
