ESPN has entered a broadcasting partnership with Riot Games to air the LCS Spring Split Playoffs, starting on April 8th.
As part of the deal, ESPN will serve as the official linear and authenticated streaming platform in the United States for the remainder of the competition.
The deal will kick off with 100 Thieves playing TSM, with the action being broadcast live on both ESPN.com and the ESPN application – the latter of which will house VODs of each game “immediately following competition.” All matches that follow will be aired live on ESPN2.
