Hey Summoners, In this support article, we'll walk you through the process of creating a tournament for League of Legends. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to set up your first League of Legends tournament.
*This article is only related to regions managed by Riot Games, you can find the list of the servers here. If you are using an Ex Garena server/region please use the game "Garena LOL" for your tournament.
*Before creating tournaments on Battlefy you will need to have a tournament organization first, more info can be found here.
