Although we've been to LCS Studio for many, many times, we actually never got a chance to visit the Riot HQ. So, for our latest trip to Los Angeles, not only we've meet team owners and players, but we finally got a chance to visit the Riot HQ for the first time. While there were many hoops to go through, we were very thrilled when we finally received the confirmation email.
▲YES!
Alright! That's another one off my bucket list. Now I just have to take photos and...
▲ wat
▲We didn't expect the traffic to be this...aggressive.
▲ I'm pretty sure that's where we are supposed to go
▲ We made it!
▲rito pls
▲Let's head in, shall we?
▲Super Ani's Junggi Kim drew this mural for Riot Games.
▲Reception hall
▲Various artworks and videos are displayed on screen.
▲and that includes drawings of Worlds winning teams too.
▲ :(
▲ Man, they really take me back...
▲They had this comic book of Rioters who did something great for the company.
▲ Reporter Lasso really wanted that book.
▲ These Braum doesn't look very friendly
▲ Industrial Sona, anyone?
▲ After catching up with the Rioter who gave us the tour, we finally got past the reception.
▲ Hello again!
▲ They actually framed the RP 'Arts' here.
▲ much wow very detail
▲ That Blitzcrank is the favorite of the Rioter who showed us around.
▲ And now we head into the areas where photos are not allowed.
▲ "There were rooms full of people wearing Teemo hats..."
▲ This is how the photo of Bilgewater Brew would have looked like.
▲ This is how the photo of a cup of coffee from Bilgewater Brew would have looked like.
▲ And this is how the photo of the lounge next to Bilgewater Brew would have looked like.
▲ If you ever visit Korea and want to go to a PC Bang, just look for window decors like that on the street.
▲ Riot's attention to detail is shown even in their rendition of Korean PC Bangs.
▲ In fact, the computers are probably better than most actual PC Bangs.
▲ There are rooms for some serious inhouse competitions...
▲ ...with two divided sides.▲Hall of fame
▲ Surprisingly enough, LoL wasn't the only game installed on the computers.
▲ Actual PC Bangs have a clerk who even boils the cup noodles for you.
▲ At least their choice of noodles was on point.
▲ This is how the photo of NOMS would have looked like...
▲ rito pls...
▲ Well, that was much shorter than we expected. We hope that they'd open up a bit more next time.
