Can someone TLDR the recent bilgewater event lore for me please.

Sure.

• T.F. is commissioned by someone to steal a special dagger from Gangplank's horde of loot. Someone tips off Graves to this and he chases T.F. down through the streets of Bilgewater. Gangplank gets word of this and is like "aw hell naw" and decides to teach 'em a lesson, sending his goons after them.

• Graves chases T.F. to the Butcher's Bridge where they're cornered by Gangplank's men. T.F. decides to jump over the bridge and use the ropes and pulleys along it to escape, but Graves is a slippery one and they both end up at the bottom of the bridge. Cornered they're forced to fight Gangplank's men until they're beaten to submission, and taken away. Miss Fortune's preparing for something big.

• Gangplank decides to make a public show of his execution of Graves and T.F. and the sentence for them is going overboard, chained to a cannon. Graves and T.F. talk and Graves reconciles with himself about what happened between them, and gives T.F. a card so he can use magic to escape. T.F. gets loose but Graves gets sent over, and T.F. grabs the dagger he stole that Gangplank took back and dives under, despite not being able to swim. He gets to work as best he can freeing Graves and just barely manages it, allowing Graves to scoop him up and get them to safety, while on the surface Miss Fortune takes her shot and destroys Gangplank's ship with a massive explosion. It's revealed the whole thing, T.F. stealing the dagger and tipping off Graves were orchestrated by her to get revenge against Gangplank for killing her mother and father. Graves and T.F. manage to get to safety but Graves has lost his gun Destiny. With a new plan in mind the two decide to partner up again, rekindling their friendship and set sights on Piltover.

• Following Gangplank's apparent death Bilgewater is thrown in to chaos; the power vacuum left by him has meant every kind of criminal in Bilgewater is after their own glory. Gangs are killing each other, vengeance is being enacted upon, and Miss Fortune's like "shit, didn't think this was gonna happen". Gangplank did manage to survive, but he's not unscathed, being heavily scarred and losing most of his left arm along with his crew and ship.

That's basically what happened. Just so you know, I missed out a number of smaller details but you can pretty much get the gist from this.

EDIT2: Sharjo summed the lore up way better than me, read his post xD

GP is Bilgewaters king because everybody fears him. TF sneaks gets paid to steal a dagger from one of GP's warehouses. Graves is there waiting for TF. 10 years earlier they were buddies, but TF left Graves in deep sh*t, he got caught and was imprisoned and tortured for 10 years. Graves wants TF dead. They fight, all around bilgewater, and eventually get caught by GP. Gangplank wants a public execution for the two, so he lets the whole population of bilgewater gather on the docks. TF manages to explain to Graves that he didn't abandon him, and they are buddies again. GP ties Graves and TF to a cannon and throws them to sea, but they manage to escape. In the last 10 years, Miss Fortune has set up a plan to take revenge on GP, so she blows up Gangplank's ship in front of the whole town, "killing" him. Bilgewater is in chaos now that they have no ruler anymore, and the many gangs start killing each other. Graves and TF head to Piltover. MF is out to hunt down and kill more or less anyone who ever helped or served GP. Then we learn that GP isn't really dead, he's alive though severly burned and he has lost an arm. He's now out to find who blew up his ship (and him)

This is veeeeery short. The aftermath: We learn that Twisted Fate's first name is actually Tobias (don't know about the surname, it surely starts with F, but it seems to suck, as even Graves refuse to call TF by name-surname) New skins for TF and Graves showing the "good old times" when they were buddies New skin for Miss Fortune shows here as the captain of her ship, the Syren New base skin for GP (with a metal arm, old and scarred), and a new Captain Gangplank skin, showing how he was when he still ruled over bilgewater. EDIT: oh, i FORGOT! new lore on champion pages for MF, TF, GP and Graves (in the new form of quote+bg+short story)

I'm probably still missing a few bits, but most information is there ;)
