WHAT CHANGED, AND WHY
Material tournament updates are recorded here with a date and source. Design-only changes are grouped separately so factual revisions remain easy to audit.
Planner, tracker, and original mini-game added
Added all-day calendar downloads, personalized date-boundary conversions, regional allocation tracking, and Nexus Defense—an original three-lane browser game using no Riot-owned art or audio. No official match start times were available, so none were inferred.
Site update · Nexus ClockMSI result reflected in qualification status
Hanwha Life Esports won MSI 2026. The team earned the MSI champion invitation subject to Riot’s home-region playoff condition; the LPL received the additional berth awarded to the runner-up region.

What earns an entry
We record a change when it alters a countdown target, stage date, venue, format description, qualification status, or other claim that could affect a visitor’s plans. Copy edits and visual refinements are not listed individually unless they change meaning.
When sources conflict, first-party LoL Esports or Riot Games announcements take priority. A later official correction takes priority over an earlier one, and uncertain information remains labeled pending.
