As a foreigner, I find it difficult to grasp how popular the LPL really is in China, so I did my own little fun experiment during my trip in China of wearing LPL jerseys and see if they would be recognized.
The result was very fun, many Chinese people would regularly point towards my jerseys. Some would even ask for pictures.
The IG fan from the picture on the right was shocked when he saw me in Chongqing, probably wondering why some random white dude was wearing a jersey from his favorite team. He told me me that no matter how much they lose, he is always cheering for IG.
Overall Esports and League Of Legends felt popular in China, I regularly saw spaces or merch dedicated to either, especially in big cities.
Esports probably feels more present in South-Korea and France, but China is up there. However, given how big the country is, it doesn't surprise me that they're probably the most lucrative market for Riot Games.
I'm aware this is very anecdotal, but I had a lot of fun meeting LPL fans. However I hope we can get reliable numbers about Chinese viewership someday in order to have a real comparison
We're working on a fix for the A main box. Aaand taking a look at a few other bugs that are floating around in patch 12.10. BUT if there's anything you want to make sure I get eyes on please submit a player support request and send me the ticket number with the bug in question.
Just a reminder: a player being "removed" means they no longer have an active contract with the team.
It doesn't mean they're definitely leaving. It may indicate a contract expiry. The removed player can still re-sign with the same team.
