Runeterra is Rising

A power stirs beyond the borders. The board is set, the pieces are moving, and the Rift will never be the same.

What is Runeterra Rising?

It’s a 24-team power struggle for the map. We’ve carved the world into eight factions—Noxus, Freljord, Ionia, Shurima, Piltover, Zaun, Demacia, and the Void. Three divisions. One global leaderboard. At the end of the season, the faction with the most points owns the throne.

How are the Factions forged?

We pick the Region Leaders first. From there, it’s an Auction Draft. Leaders bid their resources to hunt down the best talent available. You aren't just joining a team; you’re being recruited into a war machine.

How do we claim the throne?

The regular season is a Bo3 Swiss Stage. Win and move up; lose and fall behind. The top 4 from each division advance to the Bo5 Single Elimination Playoffs.

What is the path to victory?

Every match matters for your faction’s standing. Swiss Dominance: Going 3-0 nets your faction 50 bonus points. The Crown: Winning the bracket is worth a massive 200 points. Legacy: The top 3 factions on the Global Leaderboard get to keep their Captains for next season. Everyone else starts from zero.
