We know that you love watching League of Legends almost as much as you love getting down and dirty on the Fields of Justice. Watching streams gives valuable insight into every level of players’ strategies as well as commentary on the flow of the game, all without the stress of trying what you just learned against the competition. It helps that some of the most entertaining and passionate League of Legends players like Scarra, Ocelote and Guardsman Bob, stream and teach by example while showing off strats or just having some random good times. With many players being exposed to League of Legends streaming for the first time, as well as a growing community of players acting as paragons of the Summoner’s Code, the need for a dedicated place to showcase these players’ efforts is greater than ever. We’re excited to announce the League of Legends Streamer Portal, the next step in bringing players a curated sampling of streaming offered from around the world. You’ll find this new feature, as well as information on becoming one of our featured streamers, under the “Media” tab at the top of the site. This new community initiative will allows us to feature even more streamers, something that you’ve requested frequently through the past months. Here, we’ll place both top and upcoming streamers front and center among a collection of personalities we feel embody the Summoner’s Code and represent the character of a League of Legends role model. Head to the site and see which streamers are headlining the Streamer Portal, showcasing their style, flair and sportsmanship. We know that everyone has their favorite streamer so let us know in the streamer promotion threads who we should keep our eyes on. We all tune in to streamed games for a variety of different reasons, and with huge competitive events like PAX, Gamescom and the Season Two World Championship approaching we know that you’re craving more and more streamed content. Learn from the pros, watch your fellow summoners, get inspired to try a champion you’ve never played and watch some of the best sportsmen battle their way to victory for your benefit and enjoyment!

Also since they're approving streamers themselves they can keep better quality control than other sites and provide an even better learning experience for new players. I think Riot does a lot to attack the learning curve of MOBAs and make it more enjoyable to new players, which is part of the reason they're so successful.[/quote]
