WORLDS 2025: FINALS

Opening teaser for the Finals of the 2025 League of Legends World Championship - the biggest esports event in the world.

The event was hosted in Chengdu, China and garnered over 6.7 million concurrent viewers worldwide. The opening ceremony was headlined by international artists like G.E.M., Chrissy Costanza and Anyma.

Features content for international events require a very quick turnaround time - this video was turned around in 72 hours from the end of principal photography and was a collaborative effort between teams in China, Germany and USA.

The behind-the-scenes video above shows a detailed look into the production and VFX workflow.
