What is LoL Clash?
Clash is a competitive tournament in which 8 teams compete against each other in 3 rounds on Summoner's Rift. The teams consist of 5 players, who compete against other teams with players in their Elo. The tournament groups are divided into tiers 1-4 to avoid unfair encounters.

How Long is a Clash Tournament?

What is Sudden Death in Clash?
Most players might not know this, but Clash actually has a sudden death mechanic. This was implemented to stop games from going too long. So if your clash game takes over 60 minutes, towers will become easier to destroy, while at 65, minutes they even damage themselves. What exactly does this mean for your Clash game, though? Well, it means, that by the 70th minute, the game is over because once the towers have damaged themselves, this mechanic moves onto the Inhibitors and finally, the Nexus.
Just watch as this happened to reddit user u/heids_25 in their clash game. Feelsbadman. This begs the question: Do we need this sudden death rule in League of Legends Clash?
