Arena event: Best Served Cold · 19 July 2025

Ref — briefing

Alright, listen up. I've been hearing some bad rumors. Some of the top brass aren't happy with your progress. Obviously it's not your problem. You did your job and you did it well. But those who bet on their own champions lost a lot of money. It's fairly simple. They're targeting you, and they want to put their people on your team. So for now, you're gonna have to keep your head down and play in the free for all matches. Give me some time to figure out who I can trust, and keep doing what you do best — kill everyone.
