Riot built a respectable IP and stable ESport scene, other minor ESport scenes completely dissolved (HotS) while Major Esport scenes (Dota 2) had to resort to introducing Gambling ads and Saudi Arabia sponsorships amidst steady declining viewership just to stay afloat.
Meanwhile League’s ESport is still going strong and continues breaking worldwide viewership records. Sure there was the whole NEOM debacle with the LEC but the end result was Riot walking out of the deal and thats what matters.
So Riot Games have my utmost respect for how they managed their ESport scene despite all the troubles and challenges without relying on easy but immoral investors and sponsors.
I still don’t know how Riot keeps convincing Mercedes Benz to sponsor them lmao, I thought it would be a deal for only a year or smth but each year they renew the sponsorship.
how many of you mfs bought a mercedes?
it doesn’t help mercedes are so much more expensive than your average car
Oner bought a Mercedes when they became T1’s sponsor. He says it’s one of his favourite things lol.
If Riot was a car, what would it be?
