Will Caedrel's co-stream consume the official LEC broadcast? LEC co-stream controversy, Los Ratones playoff hopes, and the future of franchising take center stage as the discussion explores whether Caedrel’s massive co-stream viewership could overshadow—and potentially end—the main LEC broadcast. We down Riot’s cost-cutting, the financial pressures of esports winter, and the dangerous precedent of relying solely on creators for league visibility. We also cover HLE’s struggles, T1’s form, the LPL title race, and check in on the LCS.
