Response

This was a pivotal moment for the gaming world, and our narrative needed to sing with technical creativity and imagination. 

 

We designed a full broadcast studio for the live final, which hosted the world’s most elite League of Legends players in a powerful, high-tech environment. 

 

The set was also thematically linked with the visuals of Arcade, which was simultaneously launching on Netflix in the UK. This created a powerful sense of anticipation and excitement – all while connecting gaming communities around the world.

 

For the grand finale, we orchestrated a big reveal of the Hero’s Trophy with a dynamic show of lasers and lights. The perfect way to complete the story with a flourish.
