Riot Games has announced that it is running ‘Ocean Week’, an in-game event for League of Legends players on the Oceanic servers from January 23th – 31st.
In the Summer promotional event, summoners are being called upon to defend seven major cities across Oceania from a mysterious, marine terror fast approaching our Southern shores. Thousands of players are expected to enlist to protect the seven key locations:
Ocean Week Battle Dates
- Battle 1 (January 23 – 24): Melbourne
- Battle 2 (January 25): Perth
- Battle 3 (January 26): Adelaide
- Battle 4 (January 27): Auckland
- Battle 5 (January 28): Suva (Fiji)
- Battle 6 (January 29): Brisbane
- Battle 7 (January 30 – 31): Sydney
Every city will have a points total that needs to be reached to successfully defend it. For every city that is saved, a new reward tier will be unlocked. If all the cities are saved and the final battle is won, the grand prize will be unlocked: a community mural with your summoner name on it featured in a major city in Oceania.
Ocean Week Rewards
1. DOUBLE FREE WEEK CHAMPIONS
Requirement: Defend 1 city
10 extra champions will join the free rotation soon after this is unlocked.
2. ENABLE SELF MYSTERY GIFTING WITH 2X LEGENDARY CHANCE
Requirement: Defend 2 cities
After this reward is unlocked, you’ll be able to Mystery Gift yourself for 7 days. During this period, the chance of getting a Legendary skin will double.
3. SUMMONER ICON
Requirement: Defend 3 cities
If you contributed at least 1 point during Ocean Week, you’ll receive this icon in an upcoming patch cycle if this is unlocked. Note this could take a few patches to be delivered!
4. DOUBLE IP WEEKEND
Requirement: Defend 4 cities
This will unlock a Double IP Weekend for the entire server. It will be turned on for the first weekend after it unlocks.
5. MYSTERY CHAMPION
Requirement: Defend 5 cities
If you contributed at least 4 points during Ocean Week, you’ll receive a random champion that you don’t currently own. If you have all the champions, then you’ll get a free mystery skin instead. This reward distributed in the days after Ocean Week ends if it is unlocked.
6. COMMUNITY WALL
Requirement: Win the final battle (and defend 5 cities)
If you contributed at least 10 points towards Ocean Week, your summoner name will be recorded on a wall mural in a major Oceanic city – but only if this reward is unlocked. The mural will be created by the winner of the Fan Art Contest, in collaboration with a professional artist. The mural will be there for between 6 and 12 months (depends on local regulations). The final battle will take place in the last 2 days of Ocean Week.
Summoners can win the opportunity to collaborate with a professional artist on the mural by entering their artwork in the Ocean Week fan art competition. Cosplayers can also enter the cosplay competition by simply taking a photo of themselves fighting the dark terror of Ocean Week, or defending Oceania from the onslaught.
Last year, players unlocked the main Ocean Week prize in only 3 days: an artificial reef shaped as Nautilus, which will be placed on the sea floor just off the Australian coast.
