Riot is Taking a Break to End the Year
2022 has almost come to an end, so we thought we’d take some time to look back at everything we’ve done in the past twelve months.To get more news about recharge wild rift, you can visit topuplive.com official website.
To start, we welcomed Lil Nas X as the President of League of Legends, the Star Guardians saved the world (again), and Arcane added some award show wins to its resume.
This past year we also came together as a global company in Barcelona, were recognized as a great place to work, and continued to fill our worlds with new champions, new agents, and new game modes. And that’s just the work on games we’ve already published. Teams around the world also spent the last year heads down putting in time on games we’ve announced like Project L and ones we haven’t talked about just yet.
Now it’s time for a break. We’re taking the next two weeks off to spend time with family and friends, enjoy the holiday season, and of course, play some games. While most of Riot will be closed, some teams like our live operations, anticheat, and security teams will be staggering their breaks to make sure everything keeps running smoothly.
As the year comes to an end, we want to thank everyone who played our games this past year, whether you’ve spent a decade on the rift, are building a consistent five stack with your friends in VALORANT, or rolling it down in TFT, we’re happy you’re out there playing.
Esports
2022 brought the most watched League of Legends game of all time as DRX and Deft completed their run from the Play-In Stage in Mexico City all the way through the World Championship against Faker and T1 in San Francisco. In VALORANT Champions, Brazil’s Loud took down North America’s Optic Gaming during the action-packed finale in Istanbul. Over in VALORANT Game Changers, C9 White’s run of dominance finally came to an end as Mary and G2 Gozen took down the first-ever international world championship.As we look towards esports in 2023, we will see new formats for League of Legends esports and partnered teams shake up VALORANT esports. Meanwhile, Wild Rift esports will focus on Asia and TFT esports will continue to evolve after spending 2022 creating new partnerships and testing formats.
Riot Around the World
2022 was a year for Riot to look at how we operate around the world. While our global headquarters will remain in Los Angeles, we continue building out major offices in crucial cities like Shanghai, Seoul, Singapore, Dublin, Berlin, and many more.This year we acquired Wargaming Sydney to bring back Riot’s presence in Oceania, opened a new office in Seattle dedicated primarily to VALORANT, and announced plans to open a series of offices across Southeast Asia.
Those Southeast Asia offices will serve players who previously played League through Garena, our longtime partner in the region. With that partnership coming to an end, we are excited to give players in Southeast Asia the full Riot experience, starting with a massive in-game party to welcome players to the new Riot servers.
