The film sees TFT’s VIP players and hosts arrive at the MGM Grand in Vegas, ready for a one of a kind, supreme esport event.
Stylistically, Shotopop were challenged to depict each player’s personality and make their walkout moment unique to each of them. They created brief moments of aesthetic shifts to highlight the players’ identities and individuality, while also using those moments to accentuate TFT attributes and pop in some easter eggs for the TFT community.
Shotopop said “We love collaborating with Riot. The team truly worked collaboratively with us always aiming to bring more interesting solutions to the table to push the project forward. Excited for more collaborations in the future!”
Shotopop are all about the details. From character references to the neons featured throughout, everything delivered under their masterful eye is carefully considered, and it’s these details that also inspired TFT Vegas Open merchandise and various branding touchpoints for the event. And now we wait for the next collaboration...
