Riot Games has launched LCS Game Changers, a week-long tournament where professional and amateur teams will scout some of the most promising young female players in the League of Legends game. According to a Riot Games statement issued earlier today, the objective of the LCS Game Changers player experience is to “create a more diverse and inclusive professional eSports ecosystem.”

Riot Games explained that LCS Game Changers is an event to encourage women who are high ELO League players and seek to transfer them into LoL amateur and professional leagues. Riot further added that they realised that going through the process on their own may be intimidating, so Riot is thrilled to sponsor this event that will serve as both a training and scouting ground for women looking to break into the eSports industry.

Riot will choose ten of the most proficient female League players to participate in LCS Game Changers, where they will practise with coaches and staff members from various LCS clubs. Guest speakers will also talk at the event to inform attendees about the next steps they must take to move into a professional career.

Riot established a Game Changers tournament circuit for VALORANT earlier this year, and the company's many events for the game's female scene have been well-received throughout the year. However, unlike previous events, Riot will not be broadcasting LCS Game Changers live. Riot added that since the program's primary purpose is to level up an underserved set of League of Legends players, they will not be broadcasting this event live.

Interested players may apply now for a position in the LCS Game Changers, and participants will be chosen on September 3^rd, 2021. On September 27^th, the LCS Game Changers event will begin.
