After two years of running successfully, popular league show 'Beyond the Rift' has come to an end. The show is hosted by popular streamers William “scarra” Li and Michael “Imaqtpie” Santana. The two are former League pro players and are very popular in the scene.

The show features the host Scarra and Imaqtpie along with a guest talking about the game and game state in general. 'Beyond the Rift' runs on the BeyondGaming Youtube channel. It has over 70k subscribers right now. The show ran for two years straight with 95 episodes in total.

There have been no specific details to why the show was cancelled although Scarra did talk about not being passionate about continuing it in his stream. Both of the hosts have given out some factors for discontinuing the show, and it seems like it's not returning.

The last episode came back in December of 2018 when they were joined by Riot's balance team. It is a pretty popular show and usually garners a lot of views.

Both of the hosts are quite established in the League scene. They have their own respective channels both on Twitch and YouTube. Scarra also runs a very popular channel Offline TV which is immensely popular. Although Scarra came out on Reddit and explained that Offline TV is in no way the reason that the show is getting cancelled. Imaqtpie also regularly streams on Twitch and owns a YouTube channel with almost 1.8M subscribers.

European League of Legends Championship or LEC will be starting on the 18th of January, and KIA Motors have joined the league as the official partner. They launched their collaboration with a stunning short film featuring League personalities from LEC. Romain Bigeard, Indiana ‘Froskurinn’ Black, Daniel ‘Drakos’ Drakos, Aaron ‘Medic’ Chamberlain, and Andrew ‘Vedius’ Day featured in the video, which honestly looks really amazing.
