First time in history that Emea Masters has not had an official English broadcast. We are so blind sided by the whole costreaming “debate” that we completely forget where the roots are. We have one of the best tier 2 systems in the entire world, and it’s currently left to rot. So much culture, personality, skill, story behind all those players that nobody will ever know. “We are lacking personality from players and story lines from the broadcast”, but when was it made easily accessible to get those storylines? To have the players make content that’s not generic and actually highlights who they are? Emea Masters is the peak of league of legends when it comes to player development, scouting, prospects and storylines. It is currently absolutely buried. Skewmond, Yike, Naak Nako, Lyncas to name a few (and soooo many more currently in the LEC) made their way through tier 2 and EM. And people barely even know. Spanish league went through a heartbreaking season with their broadcast. NLC? In the absolute dark. We let our tier 2s die, we let league esports die. Sorry for the essay, it’s just been a very heartbreaking last 2 years. Hopefully we somehow recover it 🥺
