Esports Arena Production
Challenge
Riot Games needed a production system for their flagship esports arena that could handle complex multi-source productions including game feeds, player cameras, audience reactions, and commentary while streaming to millions of concurrent viewers on Twitch and YouTube.
Solution
Built a 20-channel production infrastructure with gaming PC integration, instant replay capabilities, and graphics overlay system. Implemented ultra-low-latency streaming for competitive integrity and integrated with tournament management software.
Results
Arena now hosts 100+ events annually with peak concurrent viewership of 5 million. Production quality matches traditional sports broadcasts. Players and commentators report the low-latency system provides a significant competitive advantage.
"The production value we achieve rivals major sports broadcasts, and the gaming community notices. Our viewers are more engaged, our sponsors are happier, and the system scales perfectly from weekly matches to championship finals."
