We’ll be sending out emails to all the winners shortly asking for their preferred prize type and other required information. The prizes can be claimed in the form of RP Codes, Amazon Gift Cards or cash paid by PayPal or bank. Honorable mentions will receive a $50 RP Code each.


In addition to the prizes above, the authors of the winning guides for each category will receive a unique badge for their profile. The badge will be linked to their guide so that anyone can easily check out their awesome guide with just one click!

Congratulations to the winners! Keep up the great work. Remember, everyone has a chance when it comes to guide creation and contests. It just takes time and effort to keep things updated, fresh and inspiring.
The great thing about multitasking is that several things can go wrong at once.

I am honored to bring home a win for the Emperor of the Sands!

I wanted to commend all the other winners as well, particularly some familiar faces:

Diamond Jungle Malzahar - The Void's Legion - Way back before the Malzahar minirework, I actually used one of Aqua Dragon's guides to learn how to play AD Malzahar (obviously I have a thing for champions who control their own armies). I am happy to see that jungle Malzahar is still going strong. If you are looking for a fun time, definitely try it out for yourself.

Seven Wonders - I checked this guide out a little while ago, and the visuals and amount of information are stunning. Anivia support is a strong pick right now, and using your wall in clever ways is very satisfying. Absolutely worth a read.

GoliathGames' Ultimate Guide to Urgot (Tips on EVERY Matchup! / 5M+ Mastery) - Urgot is an absolute beast, and so is this guide. I really don't see any world in which you will need to find something else about Urgot that you can't find here.

I am humbled to be placed among these titans, and I hope I can continue to provide valuable resources for the community for as long as some of these members have!

Loved your guide. I don't play mid or Azir, but it taught me things about the champion I hadn't even heard about after 7+ seasons of playing lol

No Fabulous section this time. But if there was one, I personally would definitely give prize to the Lissandra guide (but Mel is also good).
You can check out my best guide!

Thanks Hazardist! IMHO, there's not enough easily accessible information out there on Azir. I coach casually from time to time and I hear the same thing from other Azir mains, so I'm glad I could put all the in-depth details in one place. Your Yorick Jungle Guide is a force to be reckoned with too. If I tried Yorick jungle without reading it first, I definitely would have been pathing wrong. 😅

PS. I hope your computer comes along well!

Another day another slay it seems. There is no stopping until I surpass @ L3gislacerator with his 8-times-in-a-row winning Taric guide :D

Pride aside, thank you very much for choosing my guide again :3 Well done to all the winners! Of course extra congrats-power to @ iwontdominatelol, always fun to share the pedestal with him <3
Seeing @ Divine Azir win doesn't surprise me one bit, my man tryna mask a whole *** book as an online guide. Also love to see @ Aerenax Rakan guide making it once more, if only an honorable mention! As well as @ Aqua Dragon - might not have played jungle Malz myself, but I sure as shirt remember his lethality Jinx as well as support Orianna guides which I always considered revolutionary in terms of off-meta strategies.

Of course big thanks and respect for all the judges as always, guiding us all to treasures they cannot possess :D

Thanks to jhoi for the sig
