Big changes are likely in the League of Legends esports ecosystem. The head of the esports division, Naz Aletaha, announced that she is stepping down from her position. Her role will be taken over by Chris Greeley, who has been with Riot for over eight years, and has been responsible for the strategic development of LoL esports for the past two years.

Why is this important? It’s all about the significant changes recently and some timing issues. Aletaha took a creative leave in February this year. A month before that, Jacob Wolf reported that LoL would be one of the disciplines at the Esports World Cup. Recently, there have also been announcements about a new, larger LoL system and the abandonment of small regional league representation at Worlds. These events might be related, but we cannot confirm that.

As for Chris Greeley, he is the former commissioner of the LCS, but he is not very popular among fans. Many supporters name him when discussing the decline of the American league, and he is now the face of changes in the LoL ecosystem.

It can be said that a new era is dawning in the history of esports LoL, one that will be closely associated with the new head. What it will be like remains to be seen.
