RIFT UK uses "fearless" for its drafting. This means champions picked in previous rounds (of the same match) cannot be picked again, by either side.
We believe every match should be played to the fullest. Forfeiting a match is not allowed and must be played until a nexus explodes.
On the scheduled time, each team must arrive and be in a prepared, ready state up to 20 minutes after the agreed upon time. (If the match is scheduled for 5pm, the draft MUST begin before 5:20pm). Failure to show up in time will award the other team one round (from the BO3).
The story behind the UK's grassroots LoL circuit
Founded in Spring 2026 by Joseph "Taurishe" when it became apparent that there were no local English speaking leagues.
Rift UK has been made to further push the grassroots up-bringing of future talent and help be the stepping stone to secure positions in stronger tournaments.
Our community is made of like-minded, passionate players and staff alike who all strive to perform their absolute best! We aim to foster a positive and welcoming environment for all!
At RIFT UK we believe that everyone should play their best, and abide the rules that follow the league, for the betterment of everyone!
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. Whether you're a girl-gamer, LGBTQIA+ or anything else, rest assured you will be treated equally here.
RIFT UK was created to be a stepping stone. For players strong enough to compete in competitive environments, but not quite UKEL/NLC/EMEA level. We also want to provide casting and production roles for people to see if it's something they want to work on, and include in their experiences in a resume!
Heyo! I'm Joseph, AKA Taurishe! Been playing LoL for 5 years now (oh lord). I main Braum and Rakan and (as of writing this) I peaked Diamond IV 63LP!
