LoL community casters take over as LEC records viewership bump

The LEC season has wrapped up with great news on the viewership front, with stats indicating an improvement in major metrics compared to last year—solely due to a sharp uptick in League of Legends fans tuning into co-streamers at the expense of the official broadcast.

Streaming stats site Esports Charts revealed in a report this week that League co-streamers such as Caedrel and Ibai have become a premier force on LEC matchday with thousands tuning in to catch the action. This uptick resulted in an approximate 13 percent boost in total watch hours and higher concurrent averages across the entire split. As a result, however, concurrents on official broadcasts took a dive, with the LEC Twitch channel hardest hit.
