Fans had plenty to enjoy throughout the week, exploring interactive experiences across Fan Fest, meeting their favorite creators, and completing EWC PLAY Quests to earn prizes and XP. Here are some of the biggest highlights from Week 2 of EWC 26 Fan Fest.
The Parisian Homecoming
As one of France's premier clubs, Karmine Corp brought its signature energy to Fan Fest with a variety of interactive experiences. The standout attraction was the Brick Wall, where fans could remove a brick from the club's iconic blue wall for a chance to win prizes, including signed merchandise. Combined with face painting, arcade challenges, and a creator meet-and-greet to close out the week, there was no shortage of activities for Karmine Corp supporters.
T1 vs G2
As T1 and G2 Esports shared the International House space, fans of both clubs battled through a series of competitions for the chance to win big prizes. From in-game challenges that tested their mechanics to trivia that put their League of Legends knowledge to the test, supporters competed for more than just rewards, they fought for their club's bragging rights.
Creators out in force
Creators were everywhere during Week 2 of EWC 26 Fan Fest, reflecting League of Legends' deep roots in creator culture. Fans had opportunities to meet and interact with personalities including Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng, Marcin "Jankos" Jankowski, Tyler "Tyler1" Steinkamp, G2 Esports creator Rosendo "Send0o" Fuentes Bóveda, and singer and YouTuber Chrissy Costanza, who all took part in meet-and-greets and interactive programming throughout the week.
At the Riot Games Publisher House, fans could also revisit the game's early days through League Classic, the upcoming mode that recreates an older version of League of Legends. Visitors stepped onto the Rift alongside some of their favorite creators, adding a nostalgic highlight to the week's festivities.
EWC PLAY Quests sent fans all across Fan Fest in search of new challenges. After kicking things off with a spin at the Quest Hub, participants completed activities at club booths, answered trivia, and even battled their way to a top-three finish in Teamfight Tactics. With dozens of quests spread throughout the venue, there was always another challenge waiting around the corner.
Every completed quest also earned XP toward the EWC PLAY program, giving fans a chance to claim a share of the $300,000 prize pool. The more XP earned, the bigger the potential reward, so be sure to visit the EWC PLAY website for more information.
