League of Legends’ OPL Grand Final will be broadcast by Fox Sports this weekend

League of Legends’ Oceanic Pro League will have its Grand Final broadcast by Fox Sports over this weekend.

The event, taking place at Brisbane’s Courier-Mail Piazza on Saturday 13 August at 5.30 pm AEST, will be broadcast via foxsports.com.au, its app and Facebook page.

“We’re ecstatic to be expanding the channels where you can watch the OPL Grand Final live online and hope to produce a completely unique experience on FOX SPORTS. Appearing on a local Australian sports media channel is a first for League of Legends Esports in this region but we hope that the OPL’s collaboration with the sports industry continues as Esports grows,” said Daniel Ringland, Head of Esports and Competitive at Riot Games.

“As Australia’s sports leader and the No.1 multisport website in the country, FOX SPORTS is ideally placed to bring the huge popularity of League of Legends to an ever-growing audience of esport fans,” Les Wigan, Director of Operations and Digital at Fox Sports, added.

Good luck to those competing.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
