Clash is coming to North America in beta in just a few days.

Clash is a game mode that has appeared several times in other regions and on the North America Public Beta Environment, but this will be the first time that the mode has come to the official North American live servers. The mode allows players to create their own team with friends or strangers, and sign up for a tournament to compete against other players around their skill level. Winners get in-game loot.

The League of Legends amateur tournament game mode will begin its sign ups in North America for the first time ever starting on April 9, with the official start of the tournament starting on April 13.
