2018 LoL World Championship: You can earn rewards for watching Live Matches and New Skin coming to League!

Everybody like free gifts and now Riot is giving everyone a chance to earn freebies just by watching World Championship 2018.

Players will get missions similar to in-game missions whereby reaching a certain milestone you will get rewarded. Players will get tokens for watching live matches which can be used to unlock Emotes, Borders, Icons, Chromas, and special rewards. One thing to be noticed is that you have to watch the live stream via LoL Esports instead of youtube or Twitch. Milestones have not been revealed yet and viewers will only get to know it when Play In stage begins.

This is a great initiative and something the community always wanted. In a statement, a Riot member describes how this step is focussed towards building a larger community and rewarding loyal fans he goes on to say "We wanted to deliver our first take on a system for Worlds as an opportunity to drive some hype for the event and learn a lot about what players like and don’t like. We’ll take this into heavy consideration as we expand and keep building for the future. Later on, we hope to add several more mission trees, exclusive rewards, and support for viewers who are watching outside of LoLEsports.com."
