With the COVID-19 pandemic, Riot Games had no choice but to cancel the Mid-Season Invitational and most League of Legends competitive leagues all around the world had to end the Spring Split by playing remotely. However, although they were no MSI, Riot Games decided to create a Conqueror skin anyway.
Instead of celebrating the second most important tournament of the year, as this skin line usually does, Conqueror Nautilus was made to celebrate all Spring Split champions.
"We'll release the Conqueror Nautilus skin as a way for fans to celebrate the 2020 LoL Esports Spring Split Champions. Historically, the Conqueror skin line celebrated the Mid-Season Invitational and all the players who qualified for one of the year's most global and competitive events. Even though the Mid-Season Invitational could not be held this year, the Conqueror Nautilus skin will still celebrate the teams that qualified. We will be sharing 25% of the proceeds to the Spring Split Champions across all 12 regional leagues.
Conqueror Nautilus — 975 RP
In-game preview
Conqueror Nautilus was implemented to the PBE today, alongside the last modifications brought by Patch 10.13 — but it won't hit live until Patch 10.14, on July 9.
As a new weapon to fight toxicity in League of Legends, Riot Games plans to test their new tool alongside patch cycles 1.13 and 1.14.
