Riftbound x T1 Signature Edition: Winner Emails Are Out

Riot has confirmed that the first selection emails for the Riftbound x T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition went out today, August 20. The lucky recipients did not win a free box. They won a 24 hour opportunity to purchase one of Riftbound's most limited collector products for $360 or €384, plus shipping and handling.

If you entered the drawing, check your inbox and spam folder for an email from [email protected]. Do not trust messages from lookalike addresses, and do not assume the full drawing is over if you were not selected in the first wave. Unclaimed purchase opportunities can move to another entrant.

The short version

• The collection began as a tribute to T1's historic victory at the 2025 League of Legends World Championship.
• Riot revealed the product at the Mid Season Invitational in Seoul on July 3, 2026.
• Each box contains five T1 selected Champion cards with new artwork, a unique frame, and a special foil treatment.
• One of the five cards is randomly serialized from 1 to 2025 and receives that player's gold stamped signature.
• The English drawing was open from August 14 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific until August 17 at 6:00 p.m. Pacific.
• Riot began sending the first selection emails on August 20.

How the Riftbound x T1 collection started

The story begins with T1's run at Worlds 2025. The team entered the tournament as the fourth seed, fought through the field, and claimed its sixth World Championship. It was also T1's third consecutive Worlds title.

Riot turned that achievement into a physical Riftbound tribute. The Riftbound x T1 2025 Worlds Champion Collection was revealed during MSI in Seoul on July 3, alongside news about Riftbound's official Korean launch and Korean language products.

The collection has two different products. The Signature Edition is the premium, serialized collector release. The Player Bundle is a separate, lower priced product planned for later in the year with different artwork and accessories. The winner emails sent today are for the Signature Edition drawing, not the Player Bundle.

Which five cards are included?

Each member of T1's championship roster selected a Champion for the collection:

• Doran: Ambessa, The Wolf
• Faker: Galio, Indefatigable
• Gumayusi: Miss Fortune, Buccaneer
• Keria: Seraphine, Not Alone
• Oner: Xin Zhao, Vigilant

All five cards feature new artwork, a special frame, and a unique foil treatment. One card in every box is randomly chosen to receive a serial number from 1 to 2025 and a gold stamped version of that player's signature. Riot describes the player distribution as a one in five ratio.

The number 2025 is built into the print run. Riot produced 10,125 versions per language, which allows 2,025 serialized cards for each of the five players. The Signature Edition was made in English, Chinese, and Korean, with the Chinese and Korean editions handled separately in their regions.

There is also one gameplay detail to remember. Keria's Seraphine, Not Alone comes from the upcoming Radiance set, so it is not legal for Riftbound play until Radiance releases.

Why Riot used a drawing

Fans could not simply add the English Signature Edition to a basket when the clock struck launch time. Riot used a random drawing for the opportunity to buy it.

That system grew out of earlier problems with the Spiritforged preorder. Riot said the conventional first come, first served launch had been overwhelmed by high demand and bot traffic. The drawing format was introduced to give real players a fairer chance and allow additional checks for fraudulent accounts.

For the T1 Signature Edition, previous entries and purchases did not improve anyone's odds. Riot confirmed that there was no Catch Up pool, so every valid entry started with the same chance of selection.

How could you get the Signature Edition?

The English registration window opened on August 14 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific and closed on August 17 at 6:00 p.m. Pacific. Fans needed a Riot account and had to enter through the official Riot Merch drawing page during that period.

Registration is now closed. If your entry is selected, Riot sends a purchase link by email. That link is valid for 24 hours, and the selected entrant can then buy one box for $360 or €384, plus shipping and handling.

If the purchase is not completed before the link expires, Riot can select another person. This is why it is more accurate to call the recipients selected entrants rather than winners of a free prize.

The first winner emails went out today

On August 20, the official Riftbound account confirmed that selection emails had been sent. Riot named [email protected] as the legitimate sender and advised entrants to check spam folders.

The first email wave does not necessarily mean every opportunity has been finalized. Riot's process allows further selections when a recipient declines or misses the 24 hour purchase window. If you entered and did not receive an email today, keep an eye on the official Riftbound account for confirmation that the drawing has fully concluded.

Anyone who receives a message should verify the sender before clicking. A real selection email offers the right to buy through Riot's process. It should not ask you to send payment to an individual, share your password, or move the conversation to a private marketplace.

What if you missed the drawing?

There is no late entry route for the Signature Edition. The English registration window has closed, and the product is limited.

The separate T1 2025 Worlds Champion Player Bundle is expected later in the year. Riot has said the English version is planned for a drawing in October. It will not be the same serialized product, but it gives fans another official way to collect the five player cards with different artwork and a set of T1 themed accessories.

For now, the important message is simple: the first Signature Edition emails are out, selected entrants have only 24 hours to act, and anyone still waiting should watch official channels rather than secondary market claims.

If the T1 collection has brought you back to your Riftbound cards, sort special treatments and playable copies before moving the rest. You can use the TCG Bulk card library to check exact cards, then compare active buyer offers on TCG Bulk for the extras you no longer need.
