The show’s producers didn’t want to leave any details out. For enhanced authenticity, they contacted the League of Legends studio Riot Games. Specifically, they talked to the Esports co-heads Whalen Rozelle and Jarred Kennedy, and LCS commentator David “Phreak” Turley.

Riot Games explained that their input will help ensure, as they said, “the experience depicted in the episode was authentic to the players, fans, and coaches who compete professionally in League of Legends.” Their input actually seems necessary, as this episode is heavily oriented towards the Esports audience, they can’t make mistakes.
