Riot Games has highlighted the work of UK-based League of Legends YouTube channel SkinSpotlights, which has passed ten years in operation.
The League of Legends developer thanked the channel for its decade of work by sending them a special plaque.
The SkinSpotlights YouTube channel, which showcases the latest in-game skins and special champion interactions in League, has racked up more than 2.6m subscribers on YouTube over the years.
Some of its videos have amassed hundreds of thousands – or even millions – of views. Overall, the channel has close to 2 billion views.
There’s also a Wild Rift SkinSpotlights account with more than 30m views and 176,000 subscribers.
SkinSpotlights’ hard work has been recognised by Riot, which sent the channel a plaque, as seen below in this recent Twitter post:
The plaque reads: “A decade in the spotlight. Celebrating 10 years of SkinSpotlights and its incredible contribution to the League of Legends community.”
The SkinSpotlights YouTube channel was officially first set up on February 23rd 2012, according to its YouTube page, making it close to 11 years old.
Uli, the person behind SkinSpotlights, is based in the UK. According to the brand’s Twitter page, they’re a volunteer software engineer, with the brand based in London and Newcastle.
SkinSpotlights is the most popular and consistent UK-based League of Legends YouTube channel. Other popular League of Legends channels and streamers from the UK include the likes of RossBoomsocks, Miss Baffy, Bizzleberry, Caedrel and more.
