2XKO Prizing @ Evo Japan

Each tournament at Evo Japan is open to everyone, so anyone can compete. 
All 2XKO players will take home a prize, but only the best will claim a slice of the pot. Whether you’re a first-time competitor or following in bleed’s footsteps, we hope we’ll see you onstage.

Base Prizing: Skins

Every 2XKO competitor at Evo Japan will collect a reward. You must play all of your matches. No forfeiting allowed.
Also, make sure your start.gg account is linked to your Riot account.

No matter where you place, you’ll earn:

  • The Blood Moon Akali skin.
  • An Akali pin, only available at Evo Japan. Visit the 2XKO booth to collect.

There’s no shame in drowning in pools... but you’ll have to make it out of your bracket to unlock the Blood Moon skin sets. This includes:

  • The Blood Moon Akali skin (part of your base prize).
  • The Blood Moon Ekko skin.
  • The Blood Moon Yasuo skin.

Note: the Blood Moon skin sets will become available to purchase in-game before Evo Japan starts.

In-game rewards will be added to your collection within a week once the event ends.

Prize Pool

The top 8 2XKO competitors will split a base prize pool of $60,000 at Evo Japan 2026.

The final prize pool will increase based on:

Duo Bounty
