In October 2012, Riot Games held the second annual League of Legends World Championship Finals live from USC's Galen Center in Los Angeles. The dynamic live broadcast unfolded in front of a sold-out crowd of 10,000 fans and was made available in 13 different languages. The broadcast shattered all previous eSports streaming records with more than 8 million unique viewers, 1.1 million peak concurrent viewers and 2.5 million television viewers in Korea and China.
