Riot addresses 'Non-SEA League Account' linking error

Many League of Legends (LoL) players from Southeast Asia are experiencing the error "It Looks Like You Have a Non-SEA League Account" while linking their Garena account to Riot Games. With this, Riot has released a statement via the official League of Legends Philippines Facebook page.

Here's the official statement of Riot Games regarding the issue:

Hey Summoners, if you are experiencing the error 'It Looks Like You Have a Non-SEA League Account', it likely means you already have an existing account that you previously used to access a non-SEA League game client. We're aware that this is preventing you from a successful linking journey right now.

Please don't worry! There is no need to create a new Riot account if you already have one. For players who have existing League/TFT accounts in non-SEA Riot servers, you will be able to go through the migration process in early January [2023], when Riot servers officially go live. Hang on tight till January, and we'll continue to monitor the situation!

This concern was also listed in the Account Linking FAQ page of Riot (https://accountmigration.leagueoflegends.com/en-sg/player-support/faq/).

Here's the question:

I have an account in other Riot regions, but I also have a Garena account. Can I transfer my Riot region account into SEA and merge it with my Garena account data?

Here's the answer by Riot Games:

We recommend that you keep both accounts separate. If you still decide to transfer your existing Riot League account after the publishing transition occurs and link it to your Garena League account, know that most of your Riot Account progression and identity will be irreversibly overwritten with your Garena League account data. You can find more details in our Content Migration Guide, but again, we do not recommend this course of action.
