Players, fans, and special guests will digitally gather in support of COVID-19 relief efforts across the globe. The Mid-Season Streamathon will run from May 29 through May 31, starting at 5pm PDT on Friday and will be supported by League of Legends esports partners like Mastercard, State Farm ®, Red Bull, and Secretlab.
The broadcast will feature over 48 hours of non-stop scheduled programming from around the world, including a continental battle of teams in Europe, an influencer battle between Yoda and Kami in Brazil, and a Mid-Season Cup showdown between the top teams in the LPL and LCK.
As part of the Mid-Season Streamathon, fans will be able to donate to support a global network of nonprofit organizations that are addressing COVID relief efforts. Fan donations will be distributed by the Riot Games Social Impact Fund to organizations around the world such as the ImpactAssets COVID Response Fund and the GlobalGiving Coronavirus Relief Fund. Riot Games has donated $4.5 million (USD) globally for COVID-19 relief efforts to date, including support to medical workers and front line health care professionals.
