Opera GX said it plans to provide a more immersive and optimized browsing environment to LoL fans in Korea through this launch. Opera GX unveiled a new LoL e-sports mode in time for the start of the LoL e-sports international competition 'First Stand', which was newly established this year and opened on the 10th. Users who download Opera GX during the competition, which lasts until the 16th, will be given the opportunity to acquire Hextech boxes and keys to acquire LoL in-game items.
Users who download Opera GX from the 10th to the 16th will be able to see the pre-installed version of 'LoL First Stand Tournament Mode (hereinafter referred to as Tournament Mode).' The tournament mode, which matches the browser exterior design to match the tournament's main theme, provides a more immersive browsing experience during the league, the company said.
It also explained that 'Riot Corner', a customized function for LoL fans, has been introduced in the new mode. It functions as a LoL-only hub where you can easily grasp the latest game information such as real-time tournament games, statistics, and league schedules, and comes with 'Co-Streamer Hub' where you can watch real-time broadcasts of 75 official Riot Games streamers.
After the end of the tournament, the pre-installed tournament mode can be changed to the default LoL esports mode. This mode applies an animation wallpaper, keyboard sound, and theme dedicated to LoL e-sports. In addition, unlimited customization is possible through more than 9000 community production modes, including official modes featuring popular champions such as ricin, renata, lenecton, varus, and casadin. During the First Stand, new modes will also be offered utilizing Jarvan IV, Hway, Jigs, Trundle and Amvesa champions.
Opera GX said it even reflected the characteristics of Korea's active gaming community, which has more than 3.9 million LoL players. By placing Naver streaming platform Zizik and live streaming platform SOOP (forest) speed dial on the browser's start page, the company explained that it can easily and quickly access the streaming platform without having to switch tabs or search the web separately.
