TL;DR - Triumphant Ryze is back! Originally awarded to winners of community competitions, Triumphant Ryze has long been a symbol of League's grassroots competitive spirit. Alongside our updated Community Competition Guidelines, we're bringing the skin back for winners of qualifying community tournaments to celebrate the organizers and players who continue to build League's competitive community around the world.

Community competition has always been part of what makes League of Legends special. Long before packed arenas and international championships, League's competitive scene was built by community tournaments that brought players together, sparked rivalries, and helped launch countless competitive journeys.

To celebrate that legacy, we're excited to announce the return of Triumphant Ryze.

Historically, Triumphant Ryze was awarded to winners of community and Riot-supported competitions as a symbol of League's grassroots competitive spirit. While distribution of the skin paused several years ago as we worked toward a more consistent global process, we're excited to bring it back as part of our renewed investment in Organized Play.

A Reward Worth Competing For

Triumphant Ryze is reserved for champions.

Players who win qualifying community competitions will once again be eligible to receive one of League's most iconic and recognizable competitive rewards. By reserving the skin for tournament winners, we hope to preserve the prestige that has always made Triumphant Ryze special while giving players another reason to jump into community competition.

How Tournament Organizers Can Qualify

Alongside our updated Community Competition Guidelines, we've introduced a simple process for organizers who want their events to be eligible for Triumphant Ryze.

To qualify, organizers should:

• Submit the Community Competition Visibility Form before their event and request Triumphant Ryze prizing. 
• For the best support experience, we encourage organizers to submit their tournament details at least 3-4 weeks in advance to provide time for review and any follow-ups.
• Organize a qualifying community competition with at least 80 competitors in the same bracket, league, or tier.
• Complete a short post-event verification process by submitting event information including the final match ID, winning player IDs, and any photos, social promotion, stream links, or brackets from your competition (as requested by a Riot contact).
• Ensure that players receiving Triumphant Ryze are Honor Level 3 or higher at the time rewards are granted. Players who do not meet the Honor requirement will not be eligible to receive the skin until they meet the requirement, if applicable.
• Once the event and winners have been verified, Riot will directly grant Triumphant Ryze (and the Ryze champion, if needed) to eligible winners' Riot accounts.

While we recommend submitting your event at least three weeks in advance, we'll do our best to accommodate organizers whenever possible.

Help Us Help You

Submitting your event doesn't just make it eligible for Triumphant Ryze, it also helps us better understand the global community competition ecosystem.

The more visibility we have into community events, the better we can identify standout competitions, explore opportunities to support organizers, celebrate community achievements, and continue investing in grassroots Organized Play.

The Beginning of a New Chapter

Bringing back Triumphant Ryze is about more than a skin.

It's a celebration of the communities that have kept League competition thriving for more than fifteen years, and it's one step toward building a stronger future for Organized Play. Whether you're organizing your first local tournament or your hundredth community event, we want to make it easier to bring players together and celebrate competition.

If you're ready to organize your next event, review the updated Community Competition Guidelines, submit your tournament through the Visibility Form, and compete for the chance to earn Triumphant Ryze.
