SOOP Lines Up Faker, Chovy for June LCK Streams

SOOP announced an exclusive June lineup of League of Legends player streams that will feature active stars including Lee Sang-hyeok (Faker), Jeong Ji-hoon (Chovy), Ryu Min-seok (Keria) and Han Wang-ho (Peanut). The streaming program is organized through team partnerships and will run throughout June during the LCK off-season.

The platform, led by Co-CEOs Choi Young-woo and Lee Min-won, said the schedule mixes ranked play, collaborative segments and casual off-stage content to keep daily engagement between players and viewers on SOOP’s service. Programming will include solo streams as well as joint sessions and interactive formats.

Active LCK talent will be joined by retired professionals who are set to stream regularly. Song Kyung-ho (Smeb), Kim Dong-ha (Khan) and Kim Tae-min (Clid) are listed as part of the platform’s legacy content lineup. SOOP will also feature creator collaborations and content from its in-house team, DN SOOPers.

Operational details indicate broadcasts are arranged through team-level agreements rather than direct individual player contracts. SOOP holds exclusive rights to personal streams from seven LCK organizations: T1, Gen.G, Dplus KIA, KIWOOM DRX, BNK FEARX, kt Rolster and DN SOOPers. The structure lets SOOP aggregate multiple team streams under a single commercial framework.

June formats expand beyond standard solo queue play and include “Player × Streamer” collaboration segments, subscriber-only interactive streams, Ask-Me-Anything sessions and casual after-work broadcasts. The company plans cross-regional content linking Korean players with international creators and will continue developing original esports properties such as Construction War and the SOOP LoL League to support retired professionals.

Global Esports Industry Week is scheduled for June 18–21, 2026 in Cologne, Germany, running alongside IEM Cologne. SOOP framed its five-year strategic partnership with the LCK as a way to channel casual team and player content into league broadcasts and to maintain regular engagement during competitive lulls.
