With the 2021 League of Legends World Championships looming on the horizon, developer Riot Games went ahead and announced who’ll be commentating and hosting the event. It’s an extensive list featuring a staggering 22 on-air personalities, and that’s just for the English-speaking broadcast!
“We will utilize the LEC studio as our English broadcasting home base with some regional faces back in the studio for the first time since 2019,” Riot Games said on Lolesports. “The LCS and LCK studios will contribute to and support the broadcast virtually.”
There’ll be casters on the mic from each of League of Legends’ four prominent professional regions, Dot Esports reported Thursday. That’s eight from LCS, seven from LEC, and seven more from the LPL and LCK, respectively.
