South Korean streaming platform SOOP has announced expanded coverage of the 2026 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds 2026), with an official English-language co-streamer, AI-powered real-time subtitles, daytime replays for Asia-Pacific (APAC) viewers and regional giveaways.
According to a release, the push runs through the tournament's Grand Final on November 15th. Co-streams sit at the center of it. These are broadcasts where a creator (or a pro player) streams the official match feed with their own live commentary on top; SOOP's lineup includes Eragon, its official English-language co-streamer.
Pro players on the mic
Most first-team players from SOOP's LCK partner teams that are not playing at Worlds are hosting co-streams of their own. The release names Pyosik and Life from DN SOOPers, LazyFeel from KRX and Taeyoon from BNK FEARX. The LCK is Korea's top League of Legends league.
Those broadcasts are in Korean. To help international fans follow along, SOOP is adding AI-powered real-time subtitles so they can follow the players' commentary and reactions as matches unfold, the release says.
SOOP also has seven official co-streamers on the event: Kim Min-gyo, Lee Sang-ho, Hello Suya, Smebim, Gamjagabi, Dudan and Gosegu. For APAC fans stuck with awkward start times, the platform is rebroadcasting matches after they end. Missed a game? The replay runs during the day.
Jerseys, peripherals and Hextech Chests
SOOP is running separate promotions for Korean and Chinese-speaking audiences. Chinese-speaking viewers can win signed jerseys from T1, Gen.G and Dplus KIA (one from each team); the more time a viewer spends watching, the more chances they get. A total of 300 gaming peripherals, including mice and mousepads, will also be given away.
Korean viewers get a dedicated Worlds event page. It hosts a Mission Advent Calendar, viewing-time Drops worth a total of 100,000 Hextech Chest and Key sets, team support campaigns and match predictions. Signed jerseys from partner teams, Live Gem raffles and free team emotes are on offer too, according to the release.
The English broadcast is on SOOP's global League of Legends channel. SOOP is also running a Traditional Chinese broadcast alongside its Korean broadcast.
