We are thrilled that with ONE Esports’ expertise and presence in esports, we will be able to bring LCK closer to fans around the world.”
It’s a major opportunity for the LCK this year
Sponsors and brands working with the LCK will have a great opportunity to expose their brand to the public, given that Korea has dominated the 2022 World Championship, with a full-Korean final and three LCK teams in the top four.
ONE Esports joins a number of valuable sponsors, including major endemic brands like Logitech G, Secretlab, LG, OMEN by HP, as well as bb.q Chicken, Tiffany & Co., Seoul-based esports analytics firm OP.GG, and South Korean cinema chain CJ CGV.
On top of that, Riot Games announced on Jan. 10 that the League of Legends World Championship is returning to Korea in 2023, and will be held in Seoul, South Korea at the end of the year. Paired with a new exciting Worlds tournament format, these brands will likely get an incomparable level of visibility.
