Riot games have historically always created state of art Media IPs and some insane collaborations for their games & events. We have already seen Riot’s commitment to “League of Legends”, with their full-blown animated series “Arcane” which went on to win Emmy’s, so we are more than excited to see how they approach this philosophy with Valorant. Their first esports musical anthem has already crossed 40Mn + views on YouTube, and am sure it wont be their last. With our in-house studio capabilities at Global Esports, we aim to contribute by creating compelling story formats that capture the journey of our league players and showcase their path to playing professionally at the highest level.
