Accounts that have played 1 match from January 1, 2021 to January 6, 2023 will retain the ingame name. However, if this name is already on Riot Games’ League of Legends server, it will have a few new characters added. Riot Games prioritizes protecting ingame names for players on its servers over Garena.
If there is a problem in the conversion process such as loss of items, will it be compensated:
Unfortunately, Riot Games only supports you to answer, but there will be no compensation for lost data (items…) from League of Legends Garena account to Riot Games server. However, Riot Games has given away some commemorative items to all players participating in the transition from the Garena server. For example: An account that does not have enough champions will be given all released champions.
What about friends list:
The friends list will be overwritten, meaning the friends list on your Garena and Riot Games League of Legends accounts will be merged (in case you already have a Riot Games League of Legends account). from before – In case of newly created Riot Games League of Legends account, only the list of friends from the Garena server will be displayed). Understandably, your friends list will certainly not be missing anyone (In the event that there is no problem).

Riot Games still allows you to link your account if Garena previously removed your ban, but this is not possible.
