Riot Games has disclosed its intention to provide in-game incentives for individuals competing in 2XKO community gatherings.
As revealed via a social media update, participants who sign up and engage in the Tampa Never Sleeps (TNS) and FGC Meetups will qualify for these incentives.
The TNS event is conducted virtually each Thursday, commencing February 19th, whereas FGC Meetups are in-person gatherings held in Chicago every Friday, beginning February 20th.
In-game Incentives for 2XKO Local Gatherings
Contestants are eligible for three distinct categories of compensation: participation, consistent attendance, and event victory.
Initially, engagement in online events yields 1000 redeemable credits, while offline events provide 2000. Attending the identical event on five or more occasions bestows the ‘Casual Suit’ avatar attire upon participants. Triumphing in events bestows the virtual title ‘Local Legend 2026’.
JulezJP, the 2XKO Community Manager, indicated that this initiative is a trial program with potential for future expansion, contingent on its performance.
To claim these prizes, participants must connect their Riot Games account with their start.gg account and complete event registration via the platform. Incentives will be distributed within days following the conclusion of each event.
