TEAM

Throughout my time as an intern and as a full time employee, I met so many wonderful people that welcomed me into Riot. Together we enjoyed time both during work and after work playing games and traveling. For VALORANT’s international eSports competitions we traveled together to watch and interact with the community. I had so much fun with these people throughout the last two year, so I wanted to share some photos from our time together below.
