What makes the Creator League truly unique is that the creators themselves actively manage their respective teams, although they won’t necessarily play in the matches. Instead, they will call the shots and make strategic decisions as their teams compete across different video games.

Creator League Show Launch (September 13): A live, hour-long show will mark the official launch of the Creator League. During this event, viewers can look forward to witnessing a team draft and live team voting, setting the stage for the league’s strategic decisions.
