Runeterrans! We know that ever since we launched many of you have been hard at work spreading the word about League of Legends far and wide. But there is one summoner amongst you who has single-handedly bolstered the ranks of League of Legends with more fervor than any other. His name is Grez, and he is the first summoner to reach the reward tier for 1000 friend referrals of at least level 10. And not only did he reach this loft goal, but he significantly surpassed it. Currently, Grez has over 1,500 referrals! That’s more than enough people than serve in an entire battalion of soldiers!

And so, in honor of his unwavering dedication to the League, we have decided that the Lizard Elder at the heart of the Twisted Treeline shall be known from this point on as Grez, the Lizard Lord! The Riot Games Staff salutes you, Grez! The next time you smite the Lizzard on Twisted Treeline, think of us!

Now, we know a lot of you want to tell your friends about League of Legends, but are still trying to muster up the courage to take that first step. So to help you take the plunge, we’ll soon be adding a new reward tier. If just one of your friend referrals reaches summoner level 10 in League of Legends, we’ll add a ceremonial shield to your League of Legends forum account. But, if you want to have your name immortalized by achieving a gameplay element to call your very own, you should probably make sure that you’ve got your referral link out there!
