The highly anticipated League of Legends World Championship 2023 is just around the corner, but fans are in for a disappointment. Riot Games has decided to ban costreaming for this year’s event, leaving fans outraged.
According to esports journalist LCS Eevee, popular streamers Nick “LS” De Cesare and Marc Robert “Caedrel” Lamont have confirmed that Worlds 2023 will not allow costreams. This news has sparked a wave of backlash from fans who enjoyed the option of watching their favorite streamers cast the event.
On Reddit, fans expressed their frustration, highlighting the benefits of costreaming. They appreciated the alternative perspective and analysis provided by streamers, especially when they weren’t satisfied with the official broadcast team.
Riot Games’ decision to ban costreaming stems from their desire to maintain control over the narrative and viewership. By allowing streamers to costream, Riot loses some control over the content and moderation of their broadcasts. Additionally, their official streams on platforms like Twitch and YouTube suffer from lower viewership due to costreaming.
While fans understand Riot’s perspective, they are still disappointed by the lack of costreaming options. Many are now calling for at least one separate stream that offers a more casual and insightful experience.
One possible solution suggested by a player is for Riot to sell costreaming rights. However, it’s uncertain whether streamers can compete with the revenue generated from ads on Riot’s official streams.
Overall, the decision to ban costreaming at Worlds 2023 has left fans frustrated and longing for the unique perspectives and analysis provided by their favorite streamers.
