Despite uniquely challenging circumstances with the global COVID-19 pandemic, the OPL experienced outstanding audience growth during Split 1 (January 31 – April 24) with the average unique local viewers per match day growing by 116% across the season, with this peaking at 239% growth during the final month of the Split.
EPOS joins the league at a unique time when audio quality and clarity has never been more important to the team dynamic when playing remotely. EPOS and Riot Games will work closely throughout the partnership to deliver superior audio experiences and seek new ways to engage with OPL fans.
Split 2 of the OPL commences at 4 PM AEST on Friday June 5 at watch.lolesports.com, where eight teams will compete for the local title, and a coveted spot at the 2020 League of Legends World Championship taking place in China later this year.
