The Best Riven NA Tournament is a special event hosted by Leaguepedia. Of late, many players have claimed to be the best Riven player in North America, but there can be only one. This tournament will determine who truly deserves the title "Best Riven NA".
The Best Riven NA Tournament is a charity tournament which benefits charitable organizations [1] selected by the entrants. There will be two levels of endowment: a community donation pool and a philanthropic prize pool.
Community Donation Pool[]
Starting on Tuesday, April 30, members of the community will be able to contribute donations to the prize pool for the winner of The Best Riven NA Tournament. You will also have the opportunity to donate directly to a participating player or players they wish to sponsor. Each player's cumulative community donation pool will be given to the charity selected by the player.
Philanthropic Prize Pool[]
Tournament sponsors will contribute to a philanthropic prize pool. This prize pool will be divided between the first, second, and third place players. Each player's portion of the prize pool will be donated to the charity selected by the player.
A preliminary qualifier will be held on Wednesday May, 1. The winner will receive an entry into The Best Riven NA Tournament. The preliminaries will begin at 4PM PDT.
Bracket Competition[]
The tournament will feature a bracket competition for community members. The winner of the bracket competition gets to choose a charity to receive a donation in his or her name.
