The Mid-Season Invitational, or MSI to specialists, is THE event for fans of Riot Games. Awaited by gamers like the Football World Cup by soccer fans, 13 teams from all over the world compete for 3 weeks, in front of thousands of spectators, on the various titles developed by the American company.

After Iceland, Vietnam, Germany, Brazil, China and the United States, it’s time to head to London for the 2023 edition. This is a major event for Riot Games, offering worldwide visibility for the whole duration of the competition by federating a large community of fans. The content created for the MSI is of a highly strategical nature for Riot Games.

How do you create a sound design for the trailer of such an important event ?

Far from being hardcore gamers, we had already familiarized ourselves with the world of the Riot Games studio on a previous project, based around the game League Of Legends. Before starting production, we needed time to immerse ourselves in the game’s universe, to grasp its spirit and its stakes, so as to be sure we were on the right track when it came to production.

The main challenge was to set the lyrics provided by the client to music: transforming a google doc into an anthem that speaks to the community, sprinkled with sounds in keeping with the trailer’s theme of cooking, all in an energetic, light-hearted and slightly burlesque way. The result is an ultra-dynamic, offbeat hip-hop track celebrating the game’s heroes, with a gourmet sound design and a fine featuring by rapper The Spectre, who adapted the text and his flow to the project.
