ESPN+ has inked a multi-year partnership with Riot Games to stream League of Legends competitions beginning this summer.
The partnership with ESPN+ will span the League of Legends North America Championship Series. That division features Team Liquid (part of the aXiomatic Gaming investment group backed by Warriors owner Peter Gruber), Golden Guardians (Golden State’s own team), and Counter Logic Gaming (owned by Madison Square Garden).
Coverage will begin on June 16 with a match between last year’s League of Legends Championship Series Summer Split finalists: Team Liquid and 100 Thieves. The finals will be held at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.
