LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WORLDS:
GRAND FINALS SEOUL
The opening teaser for the Finals of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship set the stage for the biggest esports event in the world. Held from October 10 to November 19, 2023, the tournament culminated in an epic finale that united millions of fans across the globe.
Turned around within 72 hours of wrapping principal photography, the teaser was a collaborative effort between teams in Korea, the United States, and Germany. Visually, "Autumn" served as a throughline across Worlds 2023 — from leaves beginning to turn during Play-Ins to the Finals teaser, where the end of autumn and onset of winter symbolized the closing of a chapter and the approach of legacy-defining moments.
The Finals carried enormous emotional weight, with Faker, the greatest player in League history, on the verge of his first World Championship title in seven years. Our goal was to not just celebrate the spectacle, but to honor the personal journeys, struggles, and sacrifices that led the players to this moment — capturing the raw human emotion behind the pursuit of greatness.
