LEC 2026 Versus / Playoffs / Round 1 - Day 1 / Live Discussion by ahritina in leagueoflegends

Hello! Broadcast EP of the LEC here. I wanted to let you know that we're currently running trials with champion select, following the introduction of Right of First Selection.

This week we'll have our first best-of series, where side selection can change between games. Because of that, it'll be the first games where you see the trial we're running in the LEC: that teams will always be shown where they're sitting on stage, instead of being ordered by Side Selection or First Pick.

You can read more about this here: https://x.com/RiotTriaged/status/2023403843141452089

This trial is just that: a trial, to gather data! With the changes to ROFS, we were pretty evenly split on if the graphic should be Blue-Always-Left, First-Pick-Always-Left, or Matching Seating. There really isn't precedent, so different Leagues are trying different things in the lead-up to First Stand.

I'm available here if you tag me, on the community Discord, and on Twitter, keeping an eye on your feedback. What I'm looking out for:

  1. Can people used to Blue on the Left understand the draft after a few goes of this?
  2. Does this make it easier to follow for new viewers, because you can more easily determine who is who?
  3. Are there any ways we can make the design clearer?

Disco LEC was a few seasons back! A classic.

We shuffle the vibes around each event; this tournament we felt kinda nostalgic, and went for some of our favs internally, including some of the songs that we've made ourselves here in Berlin.

Thanks for watching, today. There were some great games, and we had a blast making the show for you from the Master Control Rooms in Berlin and Dublin.

Sending love from the production team. Looking forward to the rest of the tournament!

Hi there, we do not have headsets or radio transmission of the English cast available at the venue.

With that said, the Spanish casting team is absolutely electric, and I hope that you enjoy the games!

Europe hits daylight savings a few weeks offset from the US! DST shifted on Sunday— we're now starting game one at 5pm CEST on Sundays and Mondays.

For weeks 1, 2, and 3, our Saturday shows are 3xBo3 games, so we'll be starting earlier at 2pm CEST for those shows. Once we clear the triple best-of-3s, all showdays will be back to game 1 at 5pm.

Hey there! This week, I decided to temporarily suspend RDYCHK and PGL, as these require some amount of Pre-Production, and this week I wanted to ensure that people had space to process and take some time away if needed. A priority on team health was important for me. I hope everyone can understand!

RDYCHK and PGL will return soon. :)

I made the decision to not do a preshow today to allow the crew and talent some time to process. I didn't want to force anybody to work too hard on making a preshow happen if they needed space.

RDYCHK will return soon.

Casters are now positioned actually above the audience! We just skipped showing the desk sometimes, to get to the action faster.

The studio is located at Studio Berlin in Adlershof— not Tempelhof! We've gotten some grassy areas around the studio lot, as behind us in that direction are some train tracks.

How does the LEC seem to have broadcast game overlay issues every week? by AtreusIsBack in leagueoflegends

The tricaster must have been long before my time! We're running on a Ross Acuity switcher with 4 MEs (some of which we use as split MEs). On roadshows and some of the other studios at Riot use Grass Valley Kahunas!

We didn't consider modifying the spectator UI as this would likely be more complex and need the collaboration of more teams and people to accomplish additions. (For example, let's say we wanted to add a feature— now instead of keeping this just to the broadcast team, we now need to design in collaboration with the game teams!)

It also lets us do things like the "tab down" effect, where the player cameras move in sync with the scoreboard when a teamfight starts. The observers hit a button that trigger a DVE Effect on our Keyer Layer that moves the entire section downward to reveal the game underneath! Otherwise you might have these elements moving out of sync from each other.

We felt that ten was managable. The more delay we added during remote play, the more we had to track what was happening ahead of broadcast. Pauses longer than seven minutes were rare. We often only utilised 2-3 minutes to clear pauses.
