**Los Angeles - August 20, 2023** -- Riot Games and Disguised Toast announced today that they are collaborating on an invitational tournament this September. The *NA Legends Invitational Hosted by Disguised Toast* is a first-of-its-kind event for North American League of Legends esports fans, bringing together pros from the League Championship Series (LCS) and the North American Challengers League (NACL) with popular League of Legends streamers for competition in a two-day tournament on September 16 & 17, 2023.
This is the latest in Disguised Toast’s investment in League esports as earlier this year League pros and content creators battled it out in a showmatch with over 100K fans watching, and Disguised Toast’s esports team Disguised won the NACL in the Summer Split.
“It’s been incredible to work with Disguised Toast over the last few months. Between the showmatch and the success of Disguised in the NACL split, we’ve seen community support, passionate fandom, and, simply, some really fun League of Legends matches. We’re excited for this upcoming tournament and to continue the cross over between content creators and League esports,” said Zack Elliot, Director of the NACL.
In-between the crowning of a new LCS Champion this weekend and the brand-new World Qualifying Series to kick off Worlds 2023, Riot Games and Disguised Toast are excited to put on an event for North American fans that celebrates both the past and future of North American professional League of Legends.
"I've always been a fan of League of Legends esports so this past year as a new team owner, for me, has been very fun and rewarding (although challenging at times). I'm really honored to have the opportunity to host this event with Riot - the players we've invited I've personally been a fan of and have grown up watching. This event is a unique opportunity to bring the entire community together so hopefully everyone can enjoy the show whether you're a new or old fan of LoL.", said Disguised Toast.
Four teams will compete for the $10,000 Prize Pool under the leadership of NA LoL legends in captains [Aphromoo][1], [Scarra][2], [Sneaky][3], and [Yassuo][4] across two days of tournament competition casted by [CaptainFlowers][5] and [Azael][6] on [Disguised Toast’s Twitch channel.][7] The cash and bragging rights aren’t all that’s on the line for the victors - the winning team will also receive a pair of custom Vi gauntlets crafted by [Hoku Props][8] specifically for this event, and engraved with each of the winning players’ names.
Fans curious to see who the captains will choose for their teams can tune into the live draft show on [Disguised Toast’s Twitch channel][9] September 3.
More details, including time of broadcast, will be coming soon. Keep an eye on [Disguised Toast][10], [LCS][11], and [Path to LCS][12] Twitter channels for more updates, and tune into [twitch.tv/disguisedtoast][13] on September 16 and 17.
