Louis Vuitton has entered into a world-first partnership with Riot Games, operator of the online multiplayer game "League of Legends." The brand has produced a trophy case to hold the trophy awarded to the winner of the "League of Legends World Championship," a global tournament starting in October.
Since its launch in 2009, "League of Legends" has grown into a global phenomenon, becoming the most played PC game in the world and a key factor in driving the explosive popularity of e-sports. The "League of Legends World Championship" is held annually, where teams featuring the best players compete for the championship. This year, the play-ins and group stage will begin in Berlin on October 2nd, followed by the quarterfinals and semifinals in Madrid on October 26th, and the final showdown in Paris on November 10th.
For this year's tournament, Louis Vuitton has created a unique trophy case to house the Summoner's Cup, the coveted trophy awarded to the world champion and the most prestigious prize in the esports world. This special trunk to house this prestigious trophy is a first for an esports championship. The design beautifully combines traditional Louis Vuitton savoir-faire with cutting-edge, high-tech elements inspired by the world of League of Legends.
In addition, unique champion skins and a capsule collection designed by Women's Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquiere will be released along with digital assets inspired by League of Legends.
