Beta Season of Legend of Runeterra
Players that got Beta Access to the Game had a change of playing in total 10 days of the game. A closed Beta was scheduled for early 2020, but it seems they changed the schedule.
Open Beta launching January 24th
Tons of Players pre-registered, way more than they could give access to all at once. A lot are waiting for their chance to get in the game.
The original plan was to continue rolling out invites for Closed Beta as they got key features ready for prime time, the best thing they could do tho “was just realease the game to everyone”
