"This is only for the bottom left corner- it will not show up on the minimap or for other players, to prevent confusion. No minimap!" - Ququroon

"Summoners,
It is with great pleasure that I announce you that League of Legends is now available down under with the beta launch of the Oceanic server. Players will have English-language support, local servers and a dedicated Oceania website. 

Starting today, you can join the Oceanic beta by transferring from NA, LATAM, Russia, Turkey, EUNE and EUW. This transfer is free for a limited time. Early transfers earn exclusive rewards including Ziggs and Pool Party Ziggs and enjoy a 100% IP and XP boost for all players until after the beta is over! 

Claim your free OCE transfer token by heading to the in-game store and clicking on the Other tab. Secure your summoner name on the new server by transferring today! 

We’re also celebrating the launch with an online tournament from July 6 to July 14. The tournament’s top four teams will head to PAX Melbourne from July 19-21 to compete for cash prizes. There will be more info soon, so check back for all the details.

"The 2013 summer path to pro continues with the Spring Promotion Tournament: PAX / Gamescom Qualifiers, taking place alongside the North American and European LCS Regional Playoffs. The winner of each event will earn themselves a spot in next season's Spring Promotion Tournament for a chance at becoming a professional LCS team in 2014's Spring Split. 

Your team can qualify by climbing to the top of the Ranked 5v5 Teams ladder and making it through the online tournament. The four semifinalist teams in North America will be flown to PAX in Seattle, while the European top four will be sent to Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, where they'll all compete in front of a live audience for one spot per region in next season's NA and EU Spring Promotion Tournaments. 

To qualify, make it to one of the top 16 eligible slots on the Ranked 5v5 ladder by July 26th at 12:00 PM PDT in NA or 12:00 CEST in EUW and EUNE. The online tournament will be streamed live on August 3rd and 4th, leading up to Gamescom from August 21-25 and PAX from August 30-September 1. 

And make sure to catch MLG Anaheim from June 28-30 to find out which Challenger team will win the first spot in the Spring Promotion Tournament for North America."

"In the cold and frozen fields of Freljord even the most hardened warriors are held tested by nature's elements. Those with hopes to survive have to understand the very essence of nature's forces. The leader of the Winter's Claw and unmatched  boar rider, Sejuani, has learned to tame these forces like no other. But there comes a time when even the bravest of warriors have to call on the cavalry. And by cavalry we mean bears. Huge, angry, armoured bears. 

Riding on the back of a fierce beast, Bear Cavalry Sejuani will arrive soon to celebrate the launch of the Russian server. All summoners who play on that server will receive this skin for free in the very near future!"

"Hey Summoners, 

It’s time to bust out those rare Summoner Icons! Within the next little while we will be rolling out a new change to the champion loading screen that will allow players to display their hard-earned icons while loading into the game.

In addition to this new feature, we’ve also collaborated with the Player Behavior team to drive a smaller change where we will be removing all latency (ping) displays except for your own. Through our studies on toxicity and ping displays, our data suggests that showing pings during loading adds more toxicity to games before they even begin. Ultimately we came to the conclusion that removing the ping display on champion load screens would lead to a healthier overall community, so we acted on it.

All in all, we’re excited for these new loading screens, and we're looking forward to seeing you all show off your favorite Summoner Icons when this feature rolls out. Check out the picture below for a glimpse at what’s coming soon to a loading screen near you!"

"2AM on 6/19 is the scheduled time.

We are delaying the name cleanse for NA by one day and shifting the date to Wednesday, 6/19, at 2am PDT. We are rolling out 3 hotfixes tonight for NA, and other regions. To be safe, we are not going to do all of these things at once, and that is why we are pushing the name cleanse to Wednesday. 

Here is a list of the fixes we are pushing out tonight: 

Nashor's Tooth crashing the game when using smart cast
Spells cancelled by going out of range are still going on cool down
Various localization fixes"
