Twitch Rivals Wild Rift Showdown: Schedule, format, players, prize pool, and how to watch

After the successful Twitch Rivals: Verizon Invitational Wild Rift tournament back in October 2020, the mobile version of League of Legends is making its return to Twitch Rivals this April.

Twitch has announced Twitch Rivals Wild Rift Showdown, a new tournament that will focus on the "casual-competitive creators".

For this opportunity, Twitch will choose streamers who are focusing on the entertaining aspects of the game rather than being fully competitive, which definitely sounds like a lot of fun to watch!

And since there's hasn't been a lot of Wild Rift tournaments, this is a perfect chance to enjoy some Wild Rift competition and watch your favourite streamers!
