Pro View: Leveling up the Esports Viewing Experience

UPDATE: We will be issuing takedowns on wholesale POV streams being posted on YouTube.

Starting with the 2019 Summer Split, Pro View will give fans greater control of their viewing experience and the ability to follow individual players through a suite of long-requested features. Pro View, League’s newest esports streaming product, will be available for purchase through watch.lolesports.com and proceeds will directly support teams in the LEC & LCS. In addition to Point of View streams for every player in every game, Pro View will include:

  • Multiview: Watch up to four synchronized streams (POV or main event) at once during live games and VODs
  • Advanced Timeline: Kills, tower takedowns and other big plays are marked right on the timeline, and clicking a marker jumps to that moment in the game
  • Watch With Friends: Share a personalized Pro View URL to synchronize your timeline with friends.
  • All Pro View features will available on VODs as well as during live games

At launch Pro View will be available for two leagues, the LCS & the LEC, and will come in two different levels, Regional Access & All Access. We will be adding additional leagues and content over time.

  • Regional Access will allow you to use Pro View for a single League of your choice
  • All Access will allow you to use Pro View for both Leagues (LCS & LEC)

Pro View is the latest update to watch.lolesports.com and represents our commitment to the long term success of our partnered teams. Revenues from Pro View will directly support professional teams competing in our leagues around the world. It’s critical that as our sport grows, teams and players share in that success.

Over the past few months, watch.lolesports.com has seen the launch and expansion of Team Pass & Fan Pass, Watch Rewards, Global Schedules, Global VoDs and a new and improved Live Stats System. In the future you’ll continue to see us invest in improving watch.lolesports.com and further integrating it with the core League of Legends game. Our goal is to create a holistic viewing experience that’s optimized for League of Legends esports while still allowing fans to watch on the streaming platform of their choice. We are committed to growing the product in a way that makes watching and interacting with our sport a more engaging experience.
