No new agents discovered in episode 5, but Riot Games keeps its Knowledge A fantastic movie featuring the three angels Neon, Killjoy and Reyna as part of a special operation that takes them to the alternate dimension Omega Earth. It is in this otherworld that the Pearl, the game’s new map, is located. A feat of technology, this city with a Portuguese accent, saved from a climatic disaster thanks to its special protection, now lives peacefully under the waves, looking up to admire it.
As explained by Riot Games on the game’s website, Pearl will replace Split in non-ranked and competitive games, citing keeping up to seven cards in rotation to avoid requiring players to have too many cards to play. According to Riot Games, the seven-card selection allows “A good balance between variety and mastery for new and old players“. As a result, Split will no longer be part of esports competitions, but will still be playable in Spike Rush, custom games, and other game modes. For the rest, the 5.0 patch notes are available here.
