Charities
Each team starts out with a €3,500 charity fund.
As in previous Spike Nations events, teams can acquire more funds by beating the other teams. A win in a BO1 €600, and a win in a BO3 rewards the team with €2,200. This results in different donation amounts shared with each team’s charity partner, as chosen by Riot. Additionally, the charity fund can be increased through fan donations which cannot be stolen by other teams. Find out more about the charities below.
