SOOP said on Jan. 8 it will stream live matches from major overseas League of Legends (LoL) esports leagues, including China's professional league LPL and Europe's professional league LEC.
SOOP will center coverage of the LPL and LEC group stages on Korean co-streams by streamers, and will offer official Korean commentary starting with the playoffs. Through this, it plans to deliver key matches of top-tier teams linked directly to international tournaments to domestic users.
The live coverage is intended to help domestic users more easily understand the power levels and strategic trends of overseas leagues. The aim is to let users check each region's competitive landscape and season flow in advance ahead of international tournaments.
In addition, major overseas LoL league matches such as Brazil's CBLOL, North America's LCS, and the Asia-Pacific region's LCP can also be watched on the SOOP platform. These leagues are provided with English commentary, allowing viewers to track each region's performance and meta trends.
SOOP has organized its esports page so users can see at a glance the schedule of global LoL matches taking place that day, without distinction by league. Users can watch matches consecutively within SOOP without having to switch among multiple channels.
Meanwhile, SOOP has partnered with seven League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) clubs—DN Supers, T1, Gen.G, KT, DRX, BNK FEARX, and Dplus Kia—to provide official broadcasts, players' personal streams, collaborative content, and other League of Legends-related content.
