00:00Hey everyone, Tom here.
00:01We're filming this on September 16th, a week into closed beta, and I wanted to do a quick
00:06check in on how things are going.
00:07First of all, thanks to everyone who signed up for and played in the closed beta.
00:11All of your sick combos, setups, duo moments, and memes have been a blast to see.
00:16So let me remind you why we're doing closed beta at all.
00:18During closed beta, we've been rolling out and testing our server infrastructure across
00:22the globe.
00:23Our ops and engineering teams have been tuning our matchmaker, finding and fixing bugs, and
00:27overall just verifying that everything is a go for launch.
00:29And at this point, things are holding up pretty well.
00:32And so we're ready to move on to the next phase of launching the game.
00:34Closed beta ends on October 7th, and Early Access kicks off on the same day.
00:38Early Access is our first full-featured version of the game, with a full season of content
00:42and a few key new features like combo trials.
00:45During Early Access, we'll dial in our in-season systems like the Battle Pass, Ranked, and Balance
00:50Tuning.
00:51And finally, starting in Early Access, we'll have no more content resets.
00:55Everything you get in Early Access will be yours to keep.
00:57Hey, what's up everyone?
00:59Sean here.
01:00It's been great to see y'all cook.
01:02We've seen some sick stuff with every single champion and fuse.
01:05Also, we've seen a ton of community tournaments in closed beta.
01:08Shout out to the TOs who are making it happen.
01:10It would not happen without your efforts.
01:12We're really trying to make a game where you can be creative with your gameplay, and we
01:16love the energy you put in the game so far.
01:18We've seen folks finding synergy with their friends through duos, and the clips of both high
01:22and low moments are glorious, so keep them coming.
01:25We're also keeping a close eye on issues that pop up over the course of the beta, like
01:28bugs, controller issues, or game crashes, and pushing hotfixes when we can.
01:34Remember, you can always report these using the hashtag 2xKO underscore bugs, or by submitting
01:39a ticket on our player support page.
01:41Early Access will have some amazing cosmetics through our Battle Pass in store, including champion
01:45skins, taunts, and more.
01:46We're also going to showcase combo trials.
01:49Way to learn champions by practicing their unique combos and get a feel for how they play.
01:54Each champion will have beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert combos for you all to
01:57check out.
01:58Also, their ranked grind will begin.
02:02Now we know you've been playing ranked in closed beta, but we can't wait for you to
02:05show us what you have here and see how far you can climb.
02:08Every year will be made up of 5 seasons, and each season will come with a new champion and
02:12other in-game content.
02:13That means our 10th champ will be dropping when Early Access hits live on October 7th.
02:17Keep an eye out for their gameplay reveal trailer and dev updates soon.
02:20We're also working on how Riot will support the competitive 2xKO scene.
02:24We want to put the spotlight on community TOs and organizations.
02:27With that, we're excited to announce that we'll be sponsoring 22 community-run tournaments
02:31through the rest of 2025.
02:34We're calling this the First Impact Program.
02:36Each First Impact event will receive a pop bonus from Riot, with an extra prize for winning
02:40as a duo, so find a friend and really show us what you can do there.
02:44We'll give you a list of all 22 events so you know what to look out for.
02:47We've got a ton to look forward to, so please check the linked blog post for more information.
02:51Check out Early Access when it drops October 7th.
02:54Until then, keep the closed beta hype going.
02:56Thanks for watching.
02:57We'll see you next time.
