Riot Games is aligning the latest League of Legends Clash tournament with the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational to offer Conqueror skin shards to teams that succeed. To obtain these skin shards, players place high on the leaderboard throughout the Clash events in May.
MSI was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is making a comeback in 2021. The tournament will take place in Reykjavik, Iceland in a competition between the top eleven teams from around the world. To celebrate the return of MSI, Riot Games will give players that perform well in Clash a random conquer permanent or skin shard.
League of Legends' long-awaited team tournament system Clash finally came to the MOBA game around this time last year, giving players the chance to 'fight as five – win as one' in the mode for the.
This time Riot Games is leveling up Clash from a single weekend to a full two-weekend Cup. These will take place the weekend of May 8 and the following weekend on May 29. Players will be able to create their five-man teams starting May 3 and May 24 respectively. Players can check the Clash tab in the League of Legends client for the times that these two events take place. To celebrate previous years of MSI, Riot Games created Conqueror skins for Varus, Alistar, Karma, and Nautilus. The skins are available for purchase through the League of Legends client, however this year players will be able to get them for free based on Clash performance.

To place highly in Clash tournaments, the key is to win games throughout the weekend. There is not a set number of games players will have to win to reach the top-eight and qualify for these skins. However, each Clash tournament is broken up in ladders so that different skill disparities do not play against one another. Players can win Clash games throughout the weekend to score these shards, the more games a player wins the bigger the payoff they will receive.

It can be hard to keep track of everything that Riot is doing. If they aren't creating new modes like invasion for the Star Guardian series or the VS event for the Yasuo and Riven skins then they are pumping out old modes like Doom Bots. But League of Legends Clash mode is different than all of that. Clash seeks to connect the esport audience even more to the player base and also to make playing the competitive side of the game more enjoyable.

Unfortunately, that never worked out, but Riot is hoping this new mode will be the answer to the problems of the previous mode.
The biggest different in Clash is that every weekend a tournament is held. Players will have to find teams and join by Friday then compete that weekend. Based off some of the details that each tournament (of which there will be many) will have 16 teams, it means the weekend will have a slew of matches for each team, so it definitely isn't something designed for the casual player. However, Riot has put considerable effort into the matchmaking behind the system, claiming that no matter a team's skill level, it will match them accordingly with teams. Aside from the possible fun of this system, it's exciting to think what streamers and pros alike might do with the new mode in their downtime.

In addition to matching based on skill, the system has mechanics in place to try to weed out smurfs, and if one or two high ranked players team up with several lower players, the system will match with team with higher skilled teams to prevent trolls from stomping lower ranked players.
Perhaps the most interesting concept about Clash, though, is in tickets. Tickets are the newest item introduced into LoL, and they will be required by teams to join a Clash team. Each team member will have to put forth a ticket to compete in the tournament – tickets being able to be purchased with either blue essence or RP. So long as Riot makes the tickets appropriately priced, there should be little problem with this system. After all, Clash is designed for more regular players of League, so finding the essence for tickets should be relatively easy (though we'll have to wait on Riot for that one).

But there is one other aspect to tickets, and that is in betting them. Clash will require teams to put forth a minimum of five tickets, but it does not limit putting in more. More tickets will mean more of a reward on a win, so it puts in a risk/reward system that the game as of yet hasn't seen. It is also an interesting way of playing off a gambling-like sensibility while still skirting the more dangerous aspects of it. Players don't have to commit more, but the option to risk more for more rewards is enticing. Added on to this are a slew of prizes, many of which Riot are still keeping under wraps, but least of which are a small array of team icons achievable only through the competition.
For more casual players, Clash won't change anything or do anything for them, but for the hardcore fans, it is a definite push to get more attention and traction for the esport side of League of Legends and to grow that audience.
