The League of Legends European Championship (LEC) has announced that gaming PC brand Alienware will continue to support the competition for the third year running.
The partnership, which began in 2019, has seen Alienware power the LEC stage with desktops and displays. This year, the analyst desk will also get its own station to showcase mechanical segments on the broadcast.

It has also been revealed that Alienware will continue to present the ‘Match of the Week’ segment, which highlights some of the biggest games in the LEC alongside documenting rivalries and player journeys. In addition, German fans will be provided with exclusive content in an attempt to ‘bring the stories of MOTW to their region’.
