Reach & distribution
Overview
The 2025 Mid-Season Invitational brought ten teams from the LPL, LCK, LEC, LTA and LCP to Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. Riot scheduled the tournament from June 27 through July 12, with a Play-In Stage followed by a double-elimination bracket. Its rules allocated a USD 2 million prize pool, and the final standings record Gen.G’s 3–2 win over T1.[1][2][3]
Riot’s primer lists commercial integrations including Secretlab’s official chair partnership, Opera GX’s co-streamer hub and Drops, and AWS-supported Pick’Ems. Those roles are edition-specific and are kept separate from the series-level profile. Participant links resolve to the teams’ League of Legends profiles, while the host city, venue and Canadian market connect to their canonical PTG records.[1]
Esports Charts reports more than 75.28 million hours watched across official and co-streaming broadcasts, from the Play-In through the final. The final game of Gen.G’s Grand Final win over T1 reached 3,448,373 peak viewers.[5]
