There are currently no plans to continue the official LPL English broadcast next year.

The existing production has been cancelled and Riot HQ has yet to step in to provide another solution.

Sad that one of, if not the best, leagues in the World might be less accessible.

I imagine that Riot’s new Stryker facility in Dublin will eventually take over LPL English broadcasts or they will allow a third party to take it over. The short timeline to solve this issue before the 2024 season starts, however, might make this difficult until after MSI.

My sincere hope is that we continue to have uninterrupted coverage.

This is a shitty situation for everyone, Riot HQ included. It is not their fault, but rather the Chinese stakeholders at the LPL.

I have faith that Riot HQ will remedy this for English-speaking fans.

    I wonder if this is a sigh of petulance caused by no LPL casters being selected for today’s final.

    That would be a very Chinese (government, not people) thing to do.

    If that happens, my viewership of non-playoff games will go down to just the LCK, damn. Just not worth it to me to watch a dubious quality stream with no English cast.

    I really hope this isn’t the case :( Watching 2023 LPL vods before worlds, to see how the Chinese teams played, was so much fun, I wanted to carry that into 2024

    Biden shouldn’t have called Xi a dictator.
