The 'Let The Games Begin' achievement seems to be bugged...

GrenanTylos·Jan 17, 2019·23 votes·20,540 views

The achievement 'Let The Games Begin' requires you to watch a live stream or a VOD, since there weren't any live streams, I decided to watch a VOD, I watched a full one hour video, but I didn't get the rewards of the achievement, I watched another one hour video and it still didn't work! Please help me find a way to finish this achievement, I'm mildly confused if it is bugged or if I'm doing something wrong. [sg-shisa]

Update: I've watched MANY other VODs and I watched a stream! still, no rewards.... [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Update 2: after days of trying, i finally got the rewards, it seems like you have to watch the January 18th VODs to get it [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Same thing here, I've watched 3 vods and each time it says 'rewards are being set up for your account' yet after each vod I go to the rewards tab and the mission still shows as incomplete [sg-lux-2]

I have 27 games watched total and the number hasn't gone up once for me! I've watched over 3 vods and all the rounds for each vod. I don't like esports I just want my icon. summoner 11 [sg-janna]

The new Season 9 VODs for international games are already on the site. They aren't last season's games.

I have tried for a whole day now, and it still doesn't work... I've made sure to check that I'm logged in to the right account and everything. I really need the XP for my secondary account since I gotta get it ready for the new season.

Tried both YouTube one and Twitch one, none gives a score for the quest.

Watched the VOD's for the 18th games and watched the live games for the 19th. Tried both the Twitch and YouTube streams, no updates. Logged in on website, made sure adblocker was off, and have played a number of games today. Oh well.

Had the same problem yesterday and today the mission cleared after maybe 10 minutes of watching the FNC vs SK game (currently live).

I ran across this on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ah3y6k/psa_watch_rewards_do_not_work_for_certain_regions/ Korea, Russia, southeast/Garena are ineligible?

Also, Riot seems to have updated the minimum viewing time from 10 to 15 minutes.

Watch a stream for at least 15 minutes before navigating away

Finally got my Watch and Earn 1 finished last night after hopping between regions. CBLOL was the region that worked for me. I haven't confirmed that they now require you to keep focus on the video tab, but several of my attempts failed when I went off tab to do other things.
