With a manic mash-up of 3D and 2D animation, Paris studio Nōbl make sure the tone stays light and lively in this hype trailer for the global championship of Teamfight Tactics, Riot Games’ spinoff of League of Legends.

Cyril Izarn, CD/co-owner at Nōbl: “Teamfight Tactics is a strategy game featuring iconic champions from League of Legends.
Quick and competitive, TFT challenges you to build the ultimate team, improvise, and adapt your strategy in a round-based battle of attrition.
 

“It’s a balance between creativity and e-sport and is part of the whole identity of the TFT world event – building confidence, gathering people around the same values, and reinforcing the community feeling.”

 
“New TFT sets occur every six months and conclude with a global championship where 32 of the world’s best players go head-to-head. To announce the final event of the season, Riot challenged us to create a film dedicated to the expansive and passionate community and celebrating this peak competitive moment.

“To raise the pressure until the real D-day, we have created an anthem, a song which federates and gives strength. Based on food and cooking theme, it’s a balance between creativity and e-sport and is part of the whole identity of the TFT world event – building confidence, gathering people around the same values, and reinforcing the community feeling. Bon appetit!”
