1. League of Legends Update: Ahead of the Worlds 2024 tournament and the upcoming patch 14.21, changes are expected in the reward system, as well as nerfs for several AP champions.

The most viewed esports event in history With the second leg of LoL Worlds 2024 barely underway, 2024’s World Championship has already hit a remarkable milestone, with peak concurrent viewership approaching 3 million. What's even more extraordinary is that this milestone was reached during the Swiss Stage, a phase that typically attracts fewer viewers than the high-stakes Knockout Stage or the Grand Finals. Worlds 2024 is not just dominating the esports scene but breaking viewership barriers never seen before. In 2023, peak viewership didn’t near 3 million until much later in the competition. However, 2024 has proven to be an anomaly. Esports Charts reported that Day 1 of the Swiss Stage alone peaked at an astounding 2.8 million viewers.  One of the biggest contributors to the skyrocketing viewership of Worlds 2024 is the rise of co-streamers. While the official Riot Games broadcast is still a major player, it’s no longer the sole way fans consume the event. Popular streamers like Caedrel, Ibai, and Baiano have attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers each. In fact, their combined reach sometimes surpasses Riot’s main broadcast. The sustained popularity of League of Legends, combined with strong co-streamer involvement and international fanbase engagement, makes Worlds the definitive esports event of 2024.  #gaming #esports #gamingnews
