ELEAGUE is teaming up with Riot Games to air a one-hour special on TBS that looks to teach potential new players how the game and the esports scene work. Set to run for an hour, the special will premier on TBS on October 19th at 11pm ET and will provide a lighthearted and accessible introduction to League of Legends.
Co-hosted by Bil “Jump” Carter and Kelsie “KayPea” Pelling, the show will celebrate the culture, history, and in-game elements of the global esports scene that is League of Legends. “League of Legends has a massive, global fan base and ELEAGUE welcomes this opportunity to both celebrate the game’s passionate community and provide additional opportunities to broaden its reach to a new audience,” said Craig Barry, EVP & Chief Content Officer, Turner Sports. “ELEAGUE continues to expand its content experiences and overall portfolio through a collective of partnerships that showcase the biggest titles in esports and their unrivaled community of fans.”
“We’re excited to share an introduction to League of Legends directly with the passionate ELEAGUE community.” said Chris “Chopper” Hopper, Head of Esports, North America for Riot Games. “This episode will showcase the global phenomenon of League of Legends and should serve as a great primer as we head into the 2018 World Championship Finals on November 3.”
