League of Legends<\/a> offseason continues around the world, but as the LCS settles down with its new rosters finalised<\/a>, statistics surrounding 2019 in NA have been released.<\/p>\n

The LCS welcomed 11 new partners including an endemic brand in Alienware, having supported Champ Select and created a custom belt for the 2v2 championship for Rift Rivals: NA vs EU, to an unexpected entry for Honda. The automobile manufacturer was also the sponsor for Scouting Grounds and the MVP Award.<\/p>\n

In the LCS studios from Detroit and St Louis, 53,000 live fans attended on match days. The host cities saw boosts to their local economy with $5.44m in Detroit alone. <\/p>\n

The third most popular major professional sports league among 18-34 year olds in the United States is now the League of Legends Championship Series according to Nielsen, with the average minute audience sitting at around 124,000.<\/p>\n

Further information about the action on the Rift was also released with details surrounding details such as outcomes of the drafts and keys pressed by champion or player.<\/p>\n

The picks and bans were tallied up and Aatrox was the most-picked champion in the LCS (101), Irelia was the most-banned champion (131) and Ezreal had the best win-rate, winning 55 matches.<\/p>\n

It’s then perhaps no surprise that Ezreal had the most button presses on Q throughout 2019, with 41198 in total, dwarfing the totals for other buttons and other champs by over 30,000.<\/p>\n

The full breakdown of the numbers can be found in this post on the official website<\/a>, including which professional players played the most games, how many Baron steals were successul and who used flash the most.<\/p>\n

The LCS returns on January 25, 2020 and with the LEC getting initial ticket releases last week<\/a>, North American fans can expect more details in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
