Have you ever wanted to compete like a League of Legends pro? Well now you can get a piece of pro hardware just for watching them play.
Yesterday, Riot Games announced that it worked with SecretLab to create a custom version of the chair that pros compete in at the Mid-Season Invitational. What’s more, it’s giving one away to viewers in the U.S. who complete all four MSI 2019 watch missions.
Watch missions were created at the end of last year in advance of Worlds 2018. Honestly, it took Riot a bit too long to think of this way to engage its esports audience. But this is the first time the missions are tied to a physical reward.
Fans who complete all of the MSI watch missions will be automatically entered to win the limited, golden edition of the official MSI chair. Fans can watch either live games or VODs (up to seven days after broadcast) while logged into the League esports website or by watching on the League Friends App. Rebroadcasts won’t count, however. At least 10 minutes of a game must be watched for it to count toward missions, and you can’t speed up the playback speed. You can also check out your mission progress and total games watched in the rewards hub in the League client.
For everyone who doesn’t win, SecretLab is offering, for the first time, the same chairs that the pros compete in on its website. So even if you don’t win, you can feel a little bit of what the pros do on stage.
