INFO:
How to Link and Migrate Your Garena League of Legends Account to Riot Games (Southeast Asia)

Mark your calendar, clear your schedule, and tell your friends—starting January 6th, 2023 (UTC+8), the game publishing service for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics in Southeast Asia will officially be migrated from Garena to Riot Games.

Although this is a big move, we ultimately don't want to interrupt your playtime any more than is absolutely necessary. But even more than that, we want to make sure that all your hard-earned spoils—whether that means skins, levels, or in-game currencies—come along for the ride. So before League and TFT's services officially migrate over on January 6th (which is also when you'll get to play in Riot Client), read on and follow the following steps to hit the ground running!

You're probably eager to get your accounts connected to ensure a smooth transfer, but there are a few things you must have first:

1. A GARENA LEAGUE ACCOUNT WITH DATA PROGRESSION
It'd be pretty tough to link an account that doesn't exist, but it's also not possible to link an account that hasn't been used. Your Garena League/TFT Account must show some signs of progression (champion mastery, ranked games in your match history, honor or challenge progress, etc) or include unlocked/purchased content (RP, skins, etc) to be eligible for a transfer. If neither is true, then there will be nothing for you to link/migrate to your Riot Account.

2. A RIOT LEAGUE ACCOUNT WITH THE SAME SERVER AS YOUR GARENA LEAGUE/TFT ACCOUNT
If you already have a Riot Account with League/TFT progress or content, your two accounts must have the same server for linking to work. If you're looking to link to an existing non-SEA Riot Account with progress/content after our servers go live on January 6th, you'll have to make sure the servers match. If they don't, just use our 1 Blue Essence Server Transfer from now till February 25th, 2023 5AM (UTC+8). After which transfers into SEA will revert to its original cost.

Not sure if you're on the right server yet? Read on to see how you can check!

If, however, your League Riot League Account is brand new, it will automatically convert to your Garena server after the transfer. Need an account? Make one now!

CHECKING YOUR LEAGUE RIOT ACCOUNT'S SERVER
Remember—these directions only apply to Riot Accounts that already have League of Legends progress/content! If you have a new Riot Account or a Riot League Account with no progress/data, then the region will default to your Garena server when you link the two, and you don't have to do the following steps! In that case, do not download League on the Riot Client and log in as this may place you on a Non-SEA server that will cause a mismatch during account linking prior to League launching in SEA.

To check your Riot League server, log in to League through Riot Client.

Your current server will appear in the top right corner beneath your Summoner Name for a brief moment as "Online - [server]". That's your server!

WHAT WILL TRANSFER?
Though this guide covers how accounts will link, we have a separate guide to show you what will migrate. Tl;dr: The receiving Riot League account will generally be overwritten by the Garena League/TFT data, so be sure to read up on the specifics!

CHECKING YOUR GARENA LEAGUE ACCOUNT'S REGION & SERVER
Open your Garena client.
Go to Settings

Find your account region under General.
Garena accounts may have two pieces of location information: a region based on your IP, and a server if you've changed to a region that is not reflective of your IP

In this image, your IP LOCATION is Malaysia, but your SERVER is Singapore.

Great! Now, you know what you need to do in case you do not meet any of the checklist above. However, if you do not fulfill all of the above checklist, then as much as we would hate to say it, you will not be able to do the account linking process.

PROGRESSION FREEZE
From January 4th–5th, 2023 (UTC+8), no account progression will be tracked for the migration, and you'll be unable to make any additional purchases. This means A-N-Y progression you make during this time—whether it be climbing through ranked, getting new skins, or unlocking challenges—will NOT count post-migration. We'll give you a heads up when these dates are approaching!

How to Link Your Accounts
Once you've confirmed the eligibility of both your accounts by following the steps above, you'll be able to link your account on Garena Client or LeagueLink starting from November 18th, 2022 10am UTC+8 till early January 2023, and then through the Riot Client after Riot SEA servers go online.
