Launched in 2009, this MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) has redefined the industry's standards. Its community now exceeds 100 million active players every month! More than just a video game, League of Legend has created a real culture. From 7 September to 26 October, France Télévisions invites you to immerse yourself in this world, which is still unfamiliar to everyone!
After the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, France Télévisions is pursuing its ambition to democratise new sports and wants to introduce as many people as possible to esport, with La Banque Postale Coupe de France. For the first time in its history, this major League of Legends competition will benefit from free double national exposure, on france.tv and on Slash's Twitch! Novices and experts, young and old, we want to thrill the French to the rhythm of this esport event.

The Banque Postale Coupe de France is a competition open to players of all levels, amateurs and professionals alike. After battling it out in the qualifying rounds from 7 September to 16 October, the best teams will compete in the final on the main stage at Paris Games Week on 26 October!
France Télévisions wanted to give the competition the exposure it deserves, so since the end of the playoffs, the matches have been broadcast live on Slash's Twitch as well as on the france.tv platform.
For this 3rd edition of the competition, Marie Palot, presenter and journalist, renowned for her expertise in the fields of pop culture, gaming and esports, will be on hand to commentate. To follow and decipher each match, Marie will be paired up with a member of the OTP team. What could be better? :)
