LoL fans already can’t stand watching Riot’s new First Stand tournament

The League of Legends esports scene is no stranger to controversy, but the latest uproar isn’t about a team, player, or game balance—it’s about the new overlay introduced for the First Stand event. 

Fans tuned in for the first match between Team Liquid and Karmine Corp, expecting to focus on a classic NA vs. EU match, but instead, what caught their attention was an unwarranted change to how they watch the game. The overlay, which displays crucial in-game information, underwent a drastic redesign, and fans wasted no time voicing their frustration across social media.
