With both League of Legends and VALORANT under its umbrella, Riot Games oversees two of the biggest esports titles in the world. Yet scheduling conflicts, especially around the LEC, have left fans questioning why an emerging esport like VALORANT appears to take priority over the established League scene.
In a viral Reddit post, a fan called out Riot for not having a fair plan to tackle scheduling clashes between VALORANT and League games. “It feels like returning to the days of NA and EU LCS, where we had to base our entire schedule around when the Americans were playing,” they wrote, continuing to rant about Riot not building separate studios for both titles. “Imagine a tennis event being rescheduled because they have to use the same arena to run paddle that weekend, when the arena was built to play tennis!”
