twitch.tv/valorant carries Masters and Champions; the four regional channels (VCT Americas, EMEA, Pacific, China) run their leagues. YouTube simulcasts most events. Tarik runs the biggest English co-stream when he's casting, but he doesn't cover every event, so Riot's main broadcast is the safer default. Riot's production is among the best in esports.

BLAST events stream on twitch.tv/blastpremier with a YouTube simulcast; ESL Pro League and IEM on twitch.tv/eslcs (and twitch.tv/eslcsb when matches run at the same time). Each event also runs German, French, Russian, Polish and Portuguese broadcasts on partner channels. The English casts at BLAST and ESL are both excellent, so it mostly comes down to which event is on. Tarik (a former CS pro turned streamer) co-streams some events.

ESL events are on twitch.tv/esl_dota2 (the cleanest English broadcast in Dota), BLAST events on twitch.tv/blast, and PGL on its own channel. DotaTV in the Dota 2 client is free, has casts in several languages, and lets you watch any pro game from any player's view. For TI, Valve's main broadcast is the main feed. Long-time Dota creators co-stream the big events.

KPL streams in Chinese on Bilibili, Huya and Douyu. International Honor of Kings events stream on the official Honor of Kings YouTube and Twitch channels with English casts. KPL has a huge audience and the production shows it, but the language barrier is real if you don't speak Chinese.

IEM and ESL Pro Tour events stream on twitch.tv/ESL_SC2 with English casts. Korea's GSL streams on SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV) and YouTube. DreamHack runs its own Twitch channel. Homestory Cup, the long-running community event in Krefeld, Germany, has a relaxed party feel and is worth catching at least once.

lolesports.com is Riot's official site and the most reliable place to watch. The regional Twitch channels (twitch.tv/lck, twitch.tv/lec, twitch.tv/lpl_official and others) are live during their splits. Caedrel runs the biggest English co-stream during international events, and other streamers run their own casts with different vibes. The official LCK English broadcast (twitch.tv/lck) is the best for in-depth analysis.
