The FNCS Global Championship Twitch Drops event runs until September 27th. If you miss this timing, you won’t be able to claim the free Champion’s Chargers Kicks. So, make sure to keep an eye out for the Twitch streams.

This is a yearly event, and there’s no guarantee these items will ever be available again for free.
