It’s been two years since League of Legends fans were able to watch the point-of-view of their favorite superstars on Summoner’s Rift. Avid watchers can now step into the shoes of top LCS players, though, with the return of Pro View—but it won’t be exactly like before.
Pro View was originally a separate, subscription-based service that allowed fans to watch the POV of specific League players during a professional match. Subs could watch player mouse movement and keyboard inputs during the game, where they have their camera in-game, the items they buy, and the split-second decisions that give a glimpse into their thought process in intense situations.
This time around, players can grab Pro View recordings from LCS broadcasts through Twitch, but there are a few hoops you’ll need to jump through to gain access. If you’re trying to study up on your favorite LCS players, here is how to get Pro View VODs from Twitch.
How to access LCS Pro View VODs (2024)
This time around, Pro View has been bundled when you buy a subscription to the LCS Twitch channel, where you’ll be given access to private channels on the league’s official Discord. In these private channels, there will also be an option for subs to vote on which player’s Pro View VOD they’d like to see after each series.
Unfortunately for fans, you won’t be able to access the point-of-view of the other players during the recording, unlike the original Pro View service. As a whole, Pro View has been streamlined and simplified to just a VOD service, but this should still be a welcome addition that could convince some die-hard LCS fans to subscribe to the league’s Twitch channel.
Since the developers are testing subscription-based revenue, subs will only be available during the 2024 Summer Playoffs and will be increasing the LCS Summer Split prize pool, with Riot matching 100 percent of the revenue earned during this period. If the subscription-based system is successful, however, Riot could consider bringing it back for more events in the future.
