Players on China’s various League servers will be able to log into their accounts, complete a single game of any game mode, and win rewards starting today. The rewards include a single random permanent skin or a selection of champions and skins to try out for one week. The full reward list is on the official event website.

China mounted a bit of a comeback to win the tournament this week, which may surprise League esports fans who witnessed the region’s dominance at the Mid-Season Invitational this year. Korea’s team, helmed by none other than Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, won their group with a clean 6-0 sweep over China’s 4-2. That being said, China were the underdogs heading into the finals.

China must have received a playoffs buff, though, because they beat Korea with ease when finals rolled around, only giving up a single game in the best-of-five.

The finals between these two regions helped League to reach a total of over one million concurrent viewers on Twitch, marking a massive success for League’s first appearance at the very important sporting event.

The in-game event lasts only three days, until Sept. 2.
