Former LCS veteran turned League of Legends esports streamer, Christian ‘IWillDominate’ Rivera, is taking matters into his own hands after Riot Games announced the end of official streams for the Chinese league, LPL. Despite the blow to English-speaking fans, IWillDominate is determined to create his own broadcast for the 2024 season.
The 2024 competitive season has brought significant changes to the professional League scene, including the LCS shrinking to eight teams and the removal of the Golden Guardians and Evil Geniuses. Riot Games has also reportedly decided to shut down the English LPL stream after nearly eight years of operation.
This decision has left fans of the top Chinese League teams, known for their exceptional skill, without an accessible English broadcast. However, IWillDominate has stepped up to fill this void, expressing his dissatisfaction with Riot’s decision and pledging to create his own LPL broadcast.
Despite the potential financial burden, IWillDominate, who has transitioned from a professional player to a content creator and streamer, is committed to ensuring that English-speaking fans can continue to enjoy the LPL. He has already been hosting co-streams for League esports events and holds a special affection for the Chinese league.
While some may argue that additional English broadcasts may not be necessary since many fans already watch IWillDominate’s Twitch streams for LPL games, the streamer remains determined to provide a dedicated English broadcast. Although it may not be the most profitable venture, IWillDominate’s passion for the LPL and his willingness to invest his own money make it clear that he is dedicated to the cause.
Fans are hopeful for the future of English LPL broadcasts, with many eagerly anticipating what IWillDominate can achieve. Some have even suggested bringing in other streaming talents like Caedrel to enhance the project.
Only time will tell if IWillDominate’s ambitious plan will succeed, but English-speaking LPL fans can at least look forward to having something to watch next season.
