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

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]

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]

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]

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.

They mean the new vods coming out tomorrow on the 18th not old vods and it has to be for a minimum of 10 minutes.

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