Empowering Streamers and Spectators
The partnership strongly supports independent content creators. Kick streamers gain new ways to grow their channels. They can join Riot’s creator and partner programs. These programs cover LoL, VALORANT, TFT, and Wild Rift.
The platform transition will be seamless for viewers. Fans can tune into official Riot broadcasts on Kick. They will receive the exact same viewing incentives. This includes highly sought-after in-game drops.
Upholding Community Standards
Maintaining a safe environment remains a high priority. Riot will hold Kick streamers to strict standards. They must follow rigorous moderation practices. These match the rules on existing streaming platforms. This ensures the viewing experience stays positive and welcoming.
Ultimately, this move decentralizes Riot’s esports viewership. It offers dedicated fans much more flexibility. The partnership will fuel community growth worldwide.
