There will be a tonne of things happening, including Riot offices around the world planning meet-and-greets with fans. For South Africans, however, there isn’t a Riot Games office in the country, but you can still join in the League of Legends celebrations in other ways, including “in-game celebrations” as well as streams to watch.
Riot Games announced that:
