According to Taiwanese media Qimo Esports, the well-known LOL data website OP.GG will close the Garena (hereinafter referred to as G Society) regional alliance data statistics service on the 23rd of this month.
G is an online game operating company in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, with millions of active users. Among the many popular online games exclusively represented by G Agency, the most famous one is "League of Legends".
Since OP.GG and G Club launched the game data query service in February last year, it has been well received and welcomed by players. On OP.GG, you can not only query the battle records of many regional players, but also the official certified professional players. Battle records. This is also because teams will also collect information on relevant opponents through OP.GG, which is a very reference platform.
However, a series of announcements appeared on the OP.GG website recently, indicating that due to the termination of the Riot API Beta service, OP.GG’s Garena regional alliance statistical service will be closed on June 23 in the future, and the cooperation of just over a year is about to end.
will close the G club's data service for OP.GG, which makes many Taiwan server players who often use it to check information quite collapsed, and they all said: How can we check teammates in the future? It will be troublesome to see the record changes in the future... This super useful thing is going to be shut down like this.
In addition, some netizens speculated: Is this a sign of returning to direct sales? I feel like this also hints at the end of Garena’s agency. Could it be that Tencent is going to take over?
However, according to G agency insiders, the source of this data has always been the cooperation that Riot directly negotiated with OP.GG, and G agency has not participated in this aspect.
Combined with the decline of the previous LMS division and the replacement of Riot's e-sports unit director, it is difficult not to make people think about it. What do you think about this matter?
