RIOT Games + WAR

RIOT Games and the Valorant North American crew asked us to push their Game Changers event into new territory this year. Focusing on a select group of NA pros, we sought to extend the connection between these master craftswomen and their corresponding Agents within Valorant, all wrapped up in a decadent, multi-faceted world, echoing a riff on diamonds-are-a-girls-best-friend-twisted-for-2022-with-heavy-weaponary-in-the-hands-of-some-fuckin-all-stars-enjoy-damn.
