MonteCristo claims LEC broadcast will be ‘absolute disaster’ following recent Riot layoffs

The gaming industry is still reeling from Riot Games’ round of massive layoffs, with hundreds of people in multiple sectors losing their jobs. These layoffs are also apparently going to heavily affect the upcoming week of the LEC due to the broadcast team reportedly losing a majority of its staff.

Popular content creator and former League of Legends caster Christopher “MonteCristo” Mykles alleged on social media today that the upcoming LEC broadcast was going to be “an absolute disaster” because multiple key members of production were let go over the past week. The 37-year-old claimed Riot fired all but one observer on the team, along with the broadcast team’s writers, producers, and engineers.
