Massive viewership of LoL Red Bull offseason match was fueled by loyal T1, KCorp fans

Although official League of Legends esports action is on pause until at least next month, fans were sated yesterday, Dec. 9, with an international showmatch between some of the most popular teams in Europe and the current best team in the world, T1. 

The event—titled Red Bull League of Its Own—was held in Berlin and saw the reigning world champions come into Europe and take on all comers, facing down a gauntlet of LEC and ERL teams. In the end, T1 nearly swept the entire board of EU assailants that were thrown at them, except for G2, who won a sloppy, kill-heavy game to close out the slate.
