Opinion: Why Southeast Asia is a perfect launchpad for Wild Rift’s esports ecosystem

Riot Games’ League of Legends is one of gaming’s most popular IPs and its arrival on the mobile platform, via Wild Rift, has been met with great enthusiasm from the community.

Although the title is still in beta and available in limited regions, many have labelled Wild Rift as the title that could very well change the mobile esports landscape. Riot’s past experience in creating successful esports IPs also means that organisations and players are already looking at the title from a competitive standpoint.
