Worlds 2022 marks a new era for LoL Esports as we have partnered with legendary luxury jeweler Tiffany & Co. on a redesign of the iconic Summoner’s Cup.
The new Cup will make its global digital debut on Monday, August 29 at 10:00 a.m. ET across Riot Games, LoL Esports, and Tiffany & Co. digital and social channels.
Tiffany & Co. is the preeminent brand in handcrafting timeless trophies representing the pinnacle of athletic achievement across a variety of sports since 1860. LoL Esports’ Summoner’s Cup now sits alongside other iconic sport championship trophies—including the [LoL Pro League Silver Dragon Cup][1]—also designed and handcrafted by Tiffany & Co.

"The Summoner’s Cup is a symbol of greatness in esports and the crowning achievement in League of Legends,” said Naz Aletaha, Global Head of League of Legends Esports for Riot Games. “The teams who hoist it represent the best of our sport -- their mastery forever a part of LoL Esports’ history. As we looked to build on the prestigiousness of winning a World Championship, there was only one partner we aspired to collaborate with on the Summoner’s Cup. Tiffany & Co is a storied brand and the preeminent designer of the world's greatest sports trophies. We’re honored to partner with them to celebrate our past, present, and future World Champions."
The co-creation of the new Summoner’s Cup–—weighing 44 pounds and standing approximately 27 inches—involved an extensive creative process between LoL Esports and Tiffany & Co. The modern design was brought to life over a span of four months totaling 277 hours by the House’s expert artisans who craft more than 65 trophies each year at its hollowware workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island.
The countdown to [Worlds 2022 has begun][1], and the premier global esports event is making an epic return to North America for the first time since 2016, as well as bringing back the multi-city tour format following a two-year hiatus. The competition begins with the Play-In stage, September 29-October 4 in Mexico City, followed by Groups (October 7-10; 13-16) and Quarterfinal (October 20-23) rounds in New York City. Semifinals will be held October 29-30 in Atlanta, GA, with the 2022 Worlds Final taking place on November 5 in San Francisco, CA.
