Summoners’ Showdown took place over the past Sunday March 11, 2012, and I’m happy to announce that the event was a HUGE SUCCESS!

I would like to take this opportunity to first give thanks to our sponsors Compu2000, Lansdowne Futureshop, Riot Games, DNA Internet Cafe, RCCS, Raise Your Weapon Media, all the volunteers, and last but not least everyone who participated, including those of you who simply watched the game on the LIVE stream we had during the event.


For a quick recap, the grand prize winner was team Icons of Vanity. Each member of that team won a prize pack from Riot [$15 Riot Points + Triumphant Ryze + (Next Release) Champion Skin Bundle], an Alienware TacX mouse from Compu2000 for their future pwning experiences, and most importantly a commemorative medal around the neck and a trophy

Second prize was won by team ftU, who each went home with an extra $15 Riot Points.
Third prize was won by team Tetris, who each went home with an extra $10 Riot Points.
Fourth prize was won by team Triumphant Rice, who each went home with an extra $5 Riot Points.

We also had a fun game of Catch the Teemo, which was won by tonylahh from Tetris who was awarded with the SteelSeries Gaming mouse from Lansdowne Futureshop.

Other award winners include Latoc from Icons of Vanity who took home the Alistar Approved Award,
and GGIce from Triumphant Rice, who took home the Most Sportsmanship Award. Both were awarded with a Sennheiser PC Headset.

Aren’t you excited at the upcoming RCCS Youth League of Legend Tournament?! It’s only one and a half weeks away!!!

To add to the excitement we have planned one more way for participants to win some prizes. We have added a “Catch the Teemo Raffle Draw” to win a Steelseries MMO Gaming Mouse!

  1. It will be a raffle draw, with tickets priced at $2 for 1 and $5 for 3.
  2. Before the semi-finals, we will draw out two lucky Teemos to face off against each other.
  3. Then draw 8 more to complete two Teemo teams.
  4. The two teams will play the “Catch the Teemo” game in the Dominion map before the torunament finals.

The goal is for the team to score the most kills on the Teemo in the opposing team in a 10 min span.
Only Teemos are eligible for the grand prize of the Steelseries MMO Gaming Mouse worth $100!
Other members will receive other small prizes  from RCCS.
