After a long wait, League of Legends players can finally enjoy the highly anticipated return of Clash. The popular tournament-based game mode has been a fan-favorite since its debut, and the community sorely felt its absence. However, due to the cyberattack suffered by Riot in January, the developers had to postpone the launch of Clash.

The delay was necessary to ensure since Riot’s systems were secure and protected from further attacks. The company took the time to address any issues caused by the cyberattack and implement additional security measures to prevent similar incidents. While the wait was frustrating for players, the safety and security of their data and gameplay experience were paramount.
With the systems secured and the necessary improvements made, Riot can resume its regular release schedule. Clash will return on March 6, allowing players to compete in thrilling team battles from the comfort of their homes.

The second cycle will begin with the second half of the ranked climb, giving players plenty of opportunities to participate and prove themselves as the best.
