Starting in Season 12, our separate English, Japanese, and Traditional YouTube channels will be combined into a single, unified Global Channel.

Here is the schedule for the merger and how we plan to run the new channel moving forward.

Integration Schedule - From July 27: We will stop uploading new videos to the Japanese and Traditional channels. - From July 28: All new content will be uploaded to the integrated Global Channel. - On August 6: Existing videos on the Japanese and Traditional channels will be set to private.

How to Watch in Your Language To make sure you have the best viewing experience, the Global Channel will use the following features:

  1. Audio and Thumbnails

  • Video thumbnails and audio tracks will automatically match your preferred language based on your YouTube settings. - If a video plays in English by default, you can easily switch to your preferred language using YouTube's [Audio Track] feature.

  1. Language Tags in Titles

  • For videos made specifically for certain regions, we will add language tags to the start of the title so you can easily find them.

  1. Esports and Live Streams

  • Tournament broadcasts and live events will still stream in their respective languages. You can also watch them later at your convenience through the re-upload of the live streams.

We are making this change to focus our efforts and bring higher-quality content to all our players worldwide.

As always, thank you for your understanding and your continued support!
