League-of-legends – the in-game laguage settings in International Pro Tournaments

league-of-legends

just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the in-game language setting for Pro-gamer's International Tournament set as?

I'm just wondering since there are pro gamers from all around the globe for international competition and they will not be speaking the same languages.

Of course, I'm aware that as a pro gamer, one should always know any detail information of certain champs skill description, effect, and item descriptions and whatnot.

But I'm just curious of how the in-game settings work for the League International Tournaments.

Both, players and commentators, are set on a by client basis. If you take example on the LCS, in the post game victories, you can see that some of the imported players may have their client set in Korean or Chinese.

The same goes with the Spectator clients, the ones you see the action all the way through the game. In Brazil, they'll have this client set to the most talked language. Of course, there is not only one client linked to the game showed. There is at least 2 (for the picture in picture).

Now that this is clarified, in LoL internationnal games, the player's client will be set to what they wish. The spectator client is not unique as we said. Usually, there will be several languages that will be available for display with different "cameramen" just like an hockey game with different HUD for the different channels.

For how much different languages are available, I could not answer this part.
