Influencers, High-Profile Sponsorships, and Community Engagement
In addition to the tournaments, well-known gaming influencers like ShreeMan LegenD, MidFailYT, iFlicks, SKplz, and SID are driving substantial engagement through ongoing influencer-driven competitions.

Expanding the Esports Ecosystem in South Asia
As India’s gaming market continues to expand rapidly—with forecasts suggesting it will generate $1.4 billion in revenue by 2028—this roadmap is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the region’s growth. The strategy aims to engage the current player base and introduce more gamers to League of Legends, reinforcing the game’s prominence across South Asia.
Rajesh Gupta, Director Sales – India & SAARC at Micron, also emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating, “We are proud to support this vibrant gaming community and contribute to the advancement of competitive esports through our Crucial branded products. These tournaments will help push boundaries and drive innovation in the region.”
League of Legends: A Global Phenomenon
League of Legends, launched by Riot Games in 2009, has since become one of the most-played competitive games in the world, engaging millions of players every day. With its rich blend of MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) and RPG (Role-Playing Game) elements, League of Legends continues to evolve, delivering new content, fresh stories, and balanced gameplay to maintain its competitive integrity. The game is not just a staple of esports but also a major cultural phenomenon with spinoffs into music, comics, TV series, and more.
As the League of Legends 2024 roadmap unfolds, South Asia’s gaming community has much to look forward to—from high-profile tournaments to community-led engagements that will foster competition, collaboration, and camaraderie.
