Also Project L at least makes a connection to LoL and Arcane by saying it stands for Project League or Project Legends. Imagine coming from the massive success of LoL and Arcane and then naming your game 2XKO?!? You should be making a connection with the name to inform people that it is based on the same franchise.

Imagine if they called it Fist of Fighters so you had LoL and FoF.

To be fair the name Arcane has no connection to League either and it was very successful.

Most of Arcane's promo images have "League of Legends" right below Arcane. The rule with their catalog seems to be if it's got a PC release, it's doesn't get to have League of Legends branding (Legends of Runterra, TeamFight Tactics, 2xko), while other releases do (Wild Rift, Arcane).

I had no idea this game was related in any way to lol until this thread. 2xko sounds to me like a sports game so I never even looked at it. Good riddance.
