Story
With the League of Legends Worlds Opening Ceremony returning to a full live audience in 2022, two key goals of the event became scale and spectacle. We were tasked with finding a way to weave together a variety of elements, including existing and upcoming IP releases, six League champions, three unique performers (Edda Hayes, Jackson Wang, Lil Nas X) all with sonically-distinct songs, two finalist teams, and one Summoner's Cup to create a 360°-show that utilized both digital immersion and physical transformation to sweep audiences away on a 13-minute odyssey.
