Hippalus jumped on reddit following the announcement to answer a few questions:



When asked which servers will be participating and how much you have to contribute to get the rewards, Hippalus noted:

"All servers excluding China can contribute points, and yes, one win with a 5-man premade team, or one gift sent, is enough to count as a participant." As for why China isn't included, Hippalus continued:

"Tencent does its own thing when it comes to events and promotions. I think eSports is the only place where we've had combined vote counting."

As for how to get the mystery champion for using the

"Yes any player who has signed up for Facebook friend discovery will receive a mystery champion if that milestone is hit Also, any player that contributed to the milestone will receive an icon. NOTE - players who have received a ban/restriction/etc. in 2015 will likely be excluded from all rewards" As for what would happen if you don't have any champions left to get a mystery champion for the third reward, Hippalus noted:

"Exact details will come in the next few days, but my understanding is if you're ineligible for a mystery champion, you will receive a mystery skin." He

"I'm in charge of some of the people who are working on this, but am not always up to speed on the latest details. So I'll deter to the official announcement in a few days but the plan as I understand it is: 1) If you have signed up for Facebook Friend Discovery and that milestone is hit, you get a mystery champion. 2) If you are ineligible for a mystery champion, you get a mystery skin 3) If you are ineligible for a mystery skin, you get 490 RP"

MattEnth commented: As for when you would need to sign up for the friend discovery feature to be eligible for the reward, "Anyone who has a connected Facebook and good-standing LoL account on the upcoming reward date will be eligible for the mystery champion. So if you're signed up now, you're good to go as long as you don't unlink before the reward date." Preview of Pool Party Mundo available here]

When asked if reward six means everyone will get a the new Hippalus

noted:

"Yes if that milestone is achieved, the skin will be given for free to everyone who contributed points, excluding players who don't meet a threshold for good behavior in 2015" To avoid mix ups with folks potentially buying the skin when it is potentially being given out for free to contributing players, he

"^ The skin will be granted at the same time it is put in the store." You'll also get Dr. Mundo if you don't already own him:

"Mundo will be unlocked for free as well for participants if that milestone is hit."

EUW spectator mode fell over recently – here’s why Here's Riot tmx with

"No matter how reliable a piece of technology happens to be, sometimes things just mysteriously stop working. Last Wednesday a technical glitch popped up that caused EUW players attempting to spectate games via the client to arrive at a black screen. As with any bug causing a service disruption, we temporarily took the spectator function offline and began investigating the source of the problem so we could restore the service for players as quickly as possible. What we found was serious: Game ID numbers that couldn’t be encrypted by League’s spectator service due to their excessive length. You could almost think of our bug a distant cousin of the infamous Y2K critter that demanded a refactoring of how dates were treated in banking software. But the cause of our spectator-mode disruption simultaneously brought a grin to the faces of our Live Services engineers digging into the problem. A few days ago the total number of games played on the EUW server shard surpassed 2,147,483,648 games. (In case you went cross-eyed for a second, that’s just north of two billion games.) Unfortunately for our beleaguered spectator, that number also happens to be the maximum positive value for a 32-bit signed binary integer in computing. In other words, during the design of the spectator feature, our developers never anticipated the Game ID counter going that high on a single platform. EUW happens to be Riot’s largest shard globally - if one were posting this article in Twitch chat, the abbreviation might be “EUW > NA” - and surpassing that 2^31 digit threshold shot the lights out in EUW’s spectator mode. Curious statistics aside, we’re committed to getting spectator mode up and running as soon as possible. Our engineers have already prepared a client fix, which will hit our internal test environment today. Once the fix has been vetted, we’ll release a small patch to live servers so all of us can get back to enjoying spectator mode. The ETA for this hotfix is Monday 15th June, as we try to avoid updating our code base on Friday to prevent unexpected issues and downtime that could knock you out of League for the entire weekend. We apologise for the downtime. But thanks to everybody on the EUW server for helping us hit this crazy milestone - even if we broke some stuff in doing so - and here’s to the next two billion games. See you in-game shortly, and we’ll spectate you early next week!"
