If you’re looking for a shot at $1,000 and a trip to MSI 2026, then join Riot Games’ Demon Hunter Arena Tournament.
The Demon Hunter Arena Tournament is open to trios from Southeast Asia, with a $3,500 prize pool, in-game rewards, and a grand prize trip to MSI 2026 in Daejeon, South Korea. Teams from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand are invited to join.
Registration has already started and ends on June 2, 2026. The tournament kicks off with The Hunt, an open qualifier from June 4 to 7. Teams will play in a 3×6 Arena format, with three games per round and shuffled lobbies. Points are awarded based on placement, and the top teams move forward. The top six teams after the qualifiers advance to The Reckoning finals on June 14.
The finals will use a Checkmate format. When a team hits 15 points, they enter check status. If they win a game while in check, they take the championship. If no team wins after six games, the team with the most points wins.
The prize pool is distributed among the top six teams as follows:
• 1st place: $1,000 USD and a sponsored MSI 2026 trip (including flights, accommodation, and tickets for three people)
• 2nd: $700 USD
• 3rd: $600 USD
• 4th: $500 USD
• 5th: $400 USD
• 6th: $300 USD
Teams that finish in the top 192 also get in-game Fiendish Frenzy Orbs, with higher placements earning more.
Finals day on June 14 includes a Creator Showmatch and community watch parties. Some viewers can join creators’ teams and play in the showmatch. After the games, creators will host watch parties with live giveaways and more in-game rewards. Showmatch players and giveaway winners get extra Fiendish Frenzy Orbs.
To join, head to the official registration form and check out the full rulebook online. Riot Games said that the event is all about competition, community, and exclusive rewards, making it a standout for Arena fans in Southeast Asia.
