You need the following to start the migration:

  • A Garena League account with data progression – To be eligible for a transfer, your account must exhibit some indicators of development (champion mastery, ranking matches in your match history, honor or challenge progress, etc.) or have unlocked/bought content (RP, skins, etc.).
  • A Riot League account with the same server as your Garena League/TFT account – Your two accounts must be on the same server for connecting to function if you already have a Riot Account with League/TFT progress or content. For instance, in order to successfully link your Riot Account and Garena League Account, you would need to transfer your Riot Account to Vietnam.

How can I transfer my Garena account to Riot?  

  1. Visit the Garena-Riot Games migration page
  2. Select “Link Your Account Now.” 
  3. You will be redirected to a LeagueLink page. Click “Star Linking.” 
  4. Log in to your Garena account. 
  5. Select your desired Garena League/TFT Account. 
  6. Log in to your Riot Account, or create a new one
  7. Follow the prompts to prepare your account for linking. 
  8. Continue until you reach the “Ready to Link?” page, where you can see all the changes that will be made to your account. 
  9. Click “Link Accounts,” and you’re done. 

Players should be aware that no account progression or purchases will be tracked for the migration for a short period of time in early January 2023. This implies that any advancements or purchases you make during this period—whether they include moving up in rank, purchasing new skins, or unlocking challenges—will NOT be taken into account after the transfer. When these dates draw near, Riot Games will let gamers know.
