Road to Worlds

A sport is nothing without its heroes. That goes especially so for a new sport--dare we say, esport--like League of Legends. Over the past few years, League’s competitive scene has blossomed from its inauspicious beginnings to achieve a status of global phenomenon. That growth has been fueled in no small part by the pros that compete on the rift. It’s a story worth telling, and we’ll be doing so in a three-part documentary series. Check out the teaser trailer above, as well as brief descriptions of what you can expect from each installment in the series below.
