Costume Chaos Tournament Results are In! Posted by Tamat on Sun, 2011-03-13 13:27
Summoners!
The Alienware Arena Costume Chaos Tournament has come to a close! There was a little drama, a little excitement, and more than a little comedy. We saw some great players put on a great showing dressed in some epic costumes. And we presented them with a few equally epically sized paysafe cards.
In the end, of course, the tournament could only have one winner, so congratulations to team Triple Kill for proving that in League of Legends, being dressed to kill really does matter. But during this time we also crowned the winner of our Cosplay Contest, so further congratulations are in order for Succulent Morgana, for being the snappiest dresser in the bunch!
We want to thank all those handsome and beautiful summoners who dressed up to make being a champion of the League look good to everyone out there on the floor at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. While only a few of you could bring home the big bucks, we were positively thrilled to get a look at all your fantastic costumes. Keep looking sharp!
Congratulations again to team Triple Kill, and the amazing Succulent Morgana for bringing home the grand prizes at the Costume Chaos Tournament and the Cosplay Contest -- and looking positively smashing while they did it!

Riot Games is the Life of the Party! Posted by Tamat on Sun, 2011-03-13 09:14
Here at Riot Games we work hard, and, occasionally, we play hard, too. Here at PAX East, we took a bit of time out of our busy exhibition schedule to host a shindig down at the Revolution Rock Bar. There, we invited a few hundred summoners to come hang out and share a Singed’s Insanity Potion or a Graggy Ice with us. All while singing songs from the Songs of the Summoned contest made possible by Heimerdinger's Karaoke machine.
It was an exciting evening, and we’d like to thank everyone who came out! If you weren’t able to join us, we took some pictures of our Saturday at PAX. Click the image below for a look at the Needlessly Large Paysafe tournament, and our party where summoners at PAX East sang their heart out, Karaoke style!
Nocturne Takes PAX East By Surprise! Posted by Tamat on Sat, 2011-03-12 16:19
Summoners!
Here at PAX East, everyone’s Eternal Nightmare is the talk of the town. We just completed our demonstration of Nocturne and his groundbreaking new Near Sighted mechanic.
Nocturne is an assassin type character who functions very differently than the traditional archetypes. Unlike a traditional stealth character such as Twitch who becomes personally invisible, or a character such as Nidalee who has special synergy with the brush, Nocturne’s ultimate ability afflicts the entire enemy team with a specialized debuff. This ultimate – dubbed Paranoia – removes the player’s shared vision with allied units, leaving them blind to anything beyond the sight range of their own champion. In this way, Nocturne is able to sow confusion amongst the enemy team, striking quickly and taking down enemy champions while their allies are blind to their need for assistance.
PAX East Reminders: Riot Party Tonight, Cosplay Contest Tomorrow Posted by Administrator on Sat, 2011-03-12 16:18
Summoners!
If you’re at PAX East with us and you picked up an invitation to our Riot Games party this evening, remember to come find us at the Revolution Rock Bar on 200 High Street starting at 7:30 PM. For your convenience, it’s located less than a mile from the convention center, so head on over! But don’t forget your invitation because capacity is limited!
And, of course, even if you can’t join us for the evening’s festivities, there’s still a League of Legends costume contest going on this Sunday during the Alienware Costume Chaos tournament. If you’ve got a costume of one of our epic champions, come turn out to see how you measure up against the rest of the League. And if you haven’t got a costume, come take some pictures! The costume contest will begin at 4:00 PM at the Alienware Arena booth. But if you want to take part in the Costume Chaos Tournament, you’ll have to show up before 2:00 PM to register!

Summoners!
We’ve just arrived here at the Boston Convention and Exhibition center to set up shop for all the epic festivities that we’ve got planned for you all here at PAX East. Alongside our partners Alienware and PaySafe Card, we’ve been hard at work doing a fair bit of unpacking and at least a little bit of light construction. After all, if we don’t unpack all these Nocturne posters, who will?
