The LCS is finally returning on June 12, and with it, Riot Games is bringing back the co-streaming program for the 2020 Summer Split.<\/p>
The co-streaming program allows a select number of content creators to stream LCS matches on their own channel, giving League of Legends<\/em> fans a plethora of different options to watch the games.<\/p>
Riot first started testing out the co-streaming program during the 2018 Regional Qualifiers, then re-tested it during Rift Rivals 2019. Now, Riot will have co-streams with some of the most popular League<\/em> streamers and personalities. Other streamers might be added throughout the course of the split, too.<\/p>
Eligible partners will be able to have guests during the broadcasts, but the co-streaming rules and policies vary per region. The 2020 LCS Summer Split Co-Streaming Policy is as follows:<\/p>
- Co-streaming is defined as rebroadcasting the content from a current stream while adding live commentary and\/or video.<\/li>
- Only LCS and Academy Team Members, specific broadcast partners, and NA\/OCE LPP members will be permitted to co-stream live LCS games and Academy games on Thursdays only. The LCS reserves the right to extend invites for participation in the co-streaming program for specific time periods with the express written consent of LCS management.<\/li>
- If you choose to include a guest in your co-stream, that guest must also follow the guidelines of the co-streaming program at all times. Guests cannot publish content from the co-stream to their own channel.<\/li>
- All co-streamers and their guests must meet the legal age requirement of 21+ for our sponsors.<\/li>
- Co-streaming is only available in English at this time on the following live platforms: Twitch, YouTube, Mixer, Facebook, and Caffeine.<\/li>
- LCS and Academy sponsors, sponsored segments, or stitched commercials may not be altered or covered in any way. Do not disparage League sponsors.<\/li>
- Co-streamer sponsors may be used assuming they do not conflict with League sponsors, and they are not on the Restricted Sponsorship List (Drugs, Liquor, Pornography, Gambling).<\/li>
- All co-streaming of live Academy and LCS games must comply with The Summoner\u2019s Code<\/a>, Riot Games Legal Jibber Jabber<\/a>, and the terms of service on your respective streaming platform.<\/li>
- All co-streamers must provide viewership data to the LCS and Academy for the time they are co-streaming any LCS and Academy broadcast.<\/li>
- Please be responsible and respectful. LCS reserves the right to remove access to the co-stream program at any time.<\/li><\/ul>
