Riot Games has today announced details of the ‘Stand For Noxus’ EMEA Arena Challenge in League of Legends (LoL), and has listed its rewards.

As outlined in the recent LoL patch 25.05 notes, the Arena game mode has returned.

“To test strength and skill, we’re running a series of gruelling yet exhilarating challenges, open to all players, with hundreds of prizes waiting to be claimed on our FTW website,” Riot Games said in a press release.

‘Stand For Noxus’ will be split into three rounds, each with a unique leaderboard to test players’ skills. The first two rounds will have a performance requirement to meet in order to qualify for the following round. 

Every player that qualifies for the next round will receive an exclusive emote, while the best LoL players will earn extra loot, with rewards being handed out to the top 200 players in each leaderboard.

Players over 13 years old can enter using the link at the bottom of this article to sign in with their Riot ID. Players can play solo or as a duo.

There will be three rounds: 1. The Fighting Pits (March 10th to 24th), 2. Strength Above All (March 24th to 31st), and 3. The Grand Reckoning (March 31st to April 7th).

You need to get 50 points or more in the main path, or be in the top 10% for your played champions, to qualify. You gain points by playing games, getting fourth or higher, and earning points with unique champions.

Riot also said challenges in Valorant would be coming soon too.
