Riot recently said they will be saving VoDs as individual matches and full broadcasts on their Twitch and LCS YouTube channels.

Info on the LPL Stream and VoDs



Day 1's live broadcast will feature all four Best of 2 matches. Day 2 and Day 3 broadcasts will include the first two LPL Best of 2 matches on the RiotGames stream, with LCK matches following after the games are over and local OPL coverage picking up over on RiotGamesOceania. Beyond Week 1, the remaining unaired LPL matches for Day 2 and Day 3 will be released as VODs in English on Monday.

[UPDATE] For those Week 1 matches that are aired, the full broadcast-length VODs will be available immediately through YouTube and Twitch auto-recordings. However, individual, match-length VODs of the first week's matches will not be available due to technical restrictions related to spinning up this new broadcast. Unfortunately, this also means that there will be no English-language VODs for the first week's unaired matches. However, providing VODs of English-language LPL broadcasts is a high priority, and we’re working on a solution to resolve these issues as soon as possible.------------
