Article Summary

  • YouTube Gaming partners with Riot Games for League of Legends Worlds 2023 content.
  • Co-streaming with new personalities and original content planned for the Finals.
  • Viewing parties organized across APAC, including Seoul and Ho Chi Minh City.
  • Riot's remote co-streamers set to broadcast live from YouTube-hosted viewing events.

YouTube Gaming announced today they have partnered with Riot Games for League of Legends World Championship 2023 content. Before you ask, no, they are not taking over the broadcasting duties. Worlds will still remain on Riot's official channels. However, the two will be working together for co-streaming content and original LoL content, including new co-streamers for the upcoming World Final between SK Telecom and Weibo Gaming, as well as "an in-person experience for viewing the Finals at locations around the APAC region." This is basically their way of getting in on the action and utilizing the platform to bring different regions some bonus content beyond the main tournament, which, for some, will be a nice alternative to the main broadcast as they are targeting audiences who may want to watch something else but not necessarily be derailed from Worlds in general. We have a rundown of their plans below.
