Team UK roster announced for Twitch Rivals League of Legends streamer tournament

Riot Games has partnered with Twitch to host a League of Legends streamer tournament – and Team UK has been confirmed.

The Twitch Rivals: League of Legends All-Star Showdown/Road to TwitchCon Europe qualifying tournament will take place on April 3rd featuring eight national teams.

Then, the full Country Showdown will see the top four teams battle it out for $75,000 at TwitchCon Europe on April 14th in Berlin.

Finally, the TwitchCon Europe All-Star Showdown will pit five North American and five European League of Legends stars against each other with $25,000 on the line.

Team UK (pictured left to right) consists of:

Victoria ‘Vicksy’ Doman and Joshua ‘Snitch’ Bennett have notable esports experience in particular. The former has played in the ESL UK League of Legends Premiership and for Excel’s female team, while Snitch played for Dignitas’ successful Heroes of the Storm team before making the switch to League of Legends after Blizzard scrapped HotS esports.

To celebrate the occasion, Twitch Prime members will be treated to a Summoner’s Crown Capsule in League of Legends, which will contain a random Permanent Skin, Ward Skin and Summoner Icon.

Fans will also be able to watch the action from their favourite streamers’ perspective live on their own individual Twitch channels.

The TwitchCon Europe All-Star Showdown will see five handpicked NA League of Legends streamers from the first Twitch Rivals: League of Legends Showdown that took place in January, and a handpicked EU team to represent the entire continent against NA.

Alongside the Twitch Rivals competitions, Riot Games will also host a series of fan-focused events at TwitchCon Europe. On Saturday April 13th, fans are invited to hang out at the outdoor gaming truck that will host 20 streaming stations, attend meet and greets with their favourite streamers and head over to the League of Legends LAN Area to grab swag and exclusive game codes.

There is also an Apex Legends Twitch Rivals event taking place, featuring the likes of UK streamers onscreen, Valkia and AlexJJ:
