From @niiicolo: “John [Needham]’s global experience, track record w/our regional esports leagues, and true passion for gaming will accelerate the evolution of @LeagueOfLegends into one of the leading sports and entertainment properties in the world."News: riot.com/2MqvDEf Image
John Needham has been with @riotgames since 2017 and most recently served as the Managing Director of Europe and North America where he oversaw the rebranding of the @LeagueOfLegends European Championship #LEC, which this year moved to a long-term partnership model with 10 teams Image
Thrilled that I’ll get to keep working w/@RiotMagus (left below) & @RiotBradmore (r) as they transition into cool new gigs here at @riotgames. What they built here at @lolesports is amazing, and I’m grateful for their on-going leadership, partnership, and friendship. Image

UPDATE: We are making some changes to our roster rules to account for the unique challenges posed this year for #Worlds2020. Typically the roster lock date for Worlds takes place in mid-September, and teams can adjust their rosters freely up until that point. Thread 1/
