Who Will Be The Official Co-streamers For League Of Legends Worlds 2023 Grand Finals?
Finally, the League of Legends Worlds 2023 co-streamers have been revealed by the organizers. The 2023 World Championship Grand Finals of League of Legends is all set to take place in Seoul once again. The grand finals will feature a match between T1 and Weibo Gaming. Ahead of the D-day match, the list of content creators who will be co-streaming the event has been formally announced.
Riot Games and YouTube Gaming have collaborated together for Worlds to enable a select group of international streamers to partake in the action at World and share the excitement with their audience. The event will still be available for viewers via live feeds on the official channels. Nonetheless, the collaboration will be a great way to introduce fans of Riot Games to other YouTubers who are as passionate about the company and its long-list and impressive games as themselves.
YouTube Gaming announced today that they will be working hand-in-hand with Riot Games to produce content for the 2023 League of Legends World Championship. Interestingly, they will not be assuming the position of broadcaster. Riot will continue to broadcast The Worlds on its own channels. However, the two will work together on co-streaming the original League of Legends content, with new co-streamers for the next World Final between T1 and Weibo Gaming in addition to “an in-person experience for viewing the Finals at locations around the APAC region.”
The two giants are basically using the partnership to get in on the action and use the platform to offer some bonus content outside of the main tournament to different regions. Since their main focus is to target audiences who might want to watch something else but won’t necessarily be distracted from Worlds in general, this partnership will be a nice alternative to the main broadcast for some. Below is a summary of what the two have planned.
For viewers in South Korea or Vietnam who want to witness the action in a more open environment, Riot Games has revealed a couple of physical locations for Worlds streaming. Here are various co-streamers you can watch if you want to avoid the official League of Legends Worlds 2023 Grand Finals stream.

The League of Legends World Championship (commonly known as Worlds) is the annual professional League of Legends world championship tournament hosted by Riot Games. It is the culmination of each season. Teams compete in this event every year for the champion title, the envious 44-pound (20-kilogram) Summoner’s Cup, and a multi-million-dollar championship prize.
In 2018, around 99.6 million people watched the finals, breaking 2017’s final viewer record. The tournament has been continually praised for its ceremonial performances while receiving attention worldwide due to its dramatic and emotional nature.
The League of Legends World Championships has become the most-watched video game in the world as well as one of the most prestigious competitions in the world thanks to its immense success and popularity.
Every year, the tournament’s locations are selected from among several significant nations and areas. So far with three global titles, South Korea’s T1 is the most successful team in the history of the competition.
The 2023 World Championship is presently taking place in Seoul and Busan. Both these cities are located in South Korea. Worlds takes place from October 10 to November 19, 2023. A total of 22 teams were selected to play in the World Championship this year. These were selected based on their standing in their respective regional leagues and their past performance in regional matches for international competition.
A play-in stage of eight teams divided into two double-elimination brackets was added to the event’s format this year. It was a new and refreshing addition seen this year as compared to the previous editions. Three of the teams from the play-in stage advanced to the second round of the competition, where they competed against thirteen other teams in a Swiss-system tournament to see who would advance to the knockout stage and World had its winners for the single-elimination round.
Weibo Gaming of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) and T1 of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), last year’s finalists, will be seen locking horns in the finals which will be held on November 19, 2023, at the Gocheok Sky Dome.
The Summoner’s Cup was designed as the winner’s trophy by League of Legends developer, Riot Games. The final weight of the cup has been reduced over the past few years so that it wouldn’t be too heavy to hoist in victory. Riot had stated that it should weigh 70 pounds or roughly 32 kilograms. It was specially designed by Thomas Lyte for the World Championship Cups in 2012 and 2014.
The newly designed Summoner’s Cup, now weighs in at forty-four pounds (approximately twenty kilograms), was the result of a multi-year partnership between Riot Games and Tiffany & Co., an American jewelry firm.
