League of Legends publisher and former pro Yiliang “Peter” “Doublelift” Peng announced Thursday that he has suspended co-streaming the League of Legends Championship Series. The suspension will continue until next week’s matches.
Speaking in a recent livestream, Doublelift announced that Riot Games had been suspended after commenting on the league’s “dying” viewership and criticized the LCS for not allowing active professional players to join the show sooner. this month. . In the Mr. match, several notable streamers were involved, including Beast, Ninja, Tyler1, and Ludwig, and Doublelift said Team Liquid mid laner Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg was originally scheduled to play.
“A few days ago I was talking about how the LCS was so stupid for not letting the LCS play in the Mr. Beast tournament, and I think I said the words ‘LCS is dying'”, Doublelift said on Thursday’s show. “So your guy got an extremely turbocharged title with the LCS.”
His offensive comments described Bjergsen’s suspension as a missed opportunity for the league, according to Doublelift’s post on Wednesday.
Doublelift says Riot Games and the LCS blocked Bjergsen from playing the Mr Beast and Ninja League of Legends event.

“Riot and the LCS blocked Bjergsen from playing this event. He should have been part of Mr. Beast’s team.
“The LCS is dying,” he continued. “The audience is absolutely dying. We cannot deny it. Everyone knows it. Everyone can feel it. Why not let one of the faces of the league perform at an event featuring two of the world’s biggest creators. – Literally the greatest designer in the world?
“The LCS can’t pay Mr. Best to put his actor in an event that a lot of kids are watching. A whole different audience. “Many kids, potentially many impressionable people who might be interested in playing or watching the LCS” , did he declare.
By tracking LCS viewing data, EsportsCharts shows that Doublelift’s claims are somewhat substantiated. LCS averages 40,000 fewer viewers per broadcast than last summer. On the other hand, the show’s match at Doublelift’s Commentary Center averaged over 69,000 viewers during its four-hour run, 15,000 more than in week three of the LCS competition.
The LCS returns to the airwaves on Saturday.
