Riot Games has appointed Portugal-based esports management company Inygon as the Portuguese broadcast partner of the LEC.
As part of the deal Inygon will broadcast the entirety of the LEC Summer Split, which commences on June 12th.
No financial terms of the deal have been disclosed, nor is the length of the agreement known. While the LEC does not have any Portuguese-based teams among its 10 long-term partners, it has forged the deal to deliver “more of the kind of innovation and entertainment that our European League is known for.”
Inygon is perhaps best known, in the context of League of Legends, as the producer behind LPLOL – the official League of Legends competition in Portugal, which is part of Riot Games’ European Regional League system.
