Riot Games MSI

A LASTING LEGACY

Our Historymakers campaign got League of Legends fans fired up for the Mid-Season Invitational Esports Tournament. We created a wealth of digital content with the athletes centre stage. Legendary champions were immortalised as statues both real and in AR across Europe, helping to galvanise support for the region.
