Riot Partners with Wisdom for NA Seasonal Tournament Broadcasts

Nov 26, 2020

We’re happy to announce a partnership between Riot Games and Wisdom Gaming Group for the North American broadcast of Seasonal Tournaments, as well related content and tournament organization.

Supporting both the initial Monuments of Power tournament in December and events next year, Wisdom will help us build the foundation for Legends of Runeterra competition heading into 2021 by producing an outstanding broadcast of the first official Legends of Runeterra competitive event in NA. The Open Rounds stage of the tournament will be broadcast on Wisdom Gaming’s Giant Slayer channel on December 6th, with the Playoffs broadcast on twitch.tv/riotgames on December 13th.

"We're thrilled to continue working with Riot to build the competitive Legends of Runeterra community,” says Ian Anderson, SVP of Wisdom Gaming. “Much like Teamfight Tactics, this brilliant CCG is core to the evolution of our internal brand, Giant Slayer, and our on-going partnerships with Riot in both titles will help to catalyze the great esports moments that are yet ahead of us as both fans and players."

“We’re excited to facilitate tremendous competition with our Legends of Runeterra Seasonal Tournaments in North America,” says Chris Greeley, Commissioner of the LCS and Director of Esports. “Based on Wisdom and Giant Slayer’s proven history of accomplishments, we’re confident they’ll help us deliver something truly special to players over the course of multiple tournaments and broadcasts.”
