As the second week of the 2024 LFL Spring Split approaches, Riot Games France has announced its new project, LFL PLUS, intended to replace Fantasy League. However, this “new game” fails to fully convince the community, mainly due to the fact that a company specializing in NFTs will be involved in this project.
LFL PLUS, a new game that is not fun
Announced on Twitter by the official LFL account, and presented as a game close to a “fantasy league” that allows you to win prizes throughout the year, this new functionality in the LFL universe has not slowed down to respond to the community, whose response is almost all Negatives: The site interface, fonts, bugs, language used related to the world of cryptocurrency, etc. are on point.

We took some interest in this project and here are our findings. By registering we have the privacy policy page below to acknowledge, unmistakably, a company in the NFT universe is behind this project. We can also notice that the account validation email from them is thus detected by the Gmail box. While it is absolutely impossible to connect directly through Google account “Access is blocked, tailor request does not respect Google rules”.
After searching in vain for legal notices, we then find the first “quests”, finally what they mean.
Quests that only seem to artificially inflate LFL stats on Twitter and aren’t fun in any way, you have to send a screen to prove you tweeted. The conditions for unlocking other quests are nothing but an anthology of this hell.
Following this dubious experience, we wanted to delete our account, which was apparently a mandatory possibility, but we searched in vain and, unless we were mistaken, we only found the “Disconnect” button present in the preferences after “Edit my profile”.
Tailor-made NFT behind this project?
Tailor-nft bills itself as “a fan engagement platform that uses NFTs and Web3 to gamify customer experiences.” Their site, which also has great similarities to the LFL, is clear, NFTs and events must be linked to engage fans. Their CEO presents in this video how the platform enables fan engagement through gamification and NFTs.
It seems even more surprising that such a project was accepted by Riot Games when we know that they always wanted to maintain their esports universe of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, we especially remember the partnership between TSM and FTX, which was badly felt by riots. came That ended very quickly.
At this time we have no official reaction yet.
