As part of the tribute to 10 years of LOL in Brazil, Riot Games decided to occupy the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Curitiba, with graffiti amid the local architecture to celebrate the game’s trajectory in the country. The works are signed by partner artists and honor the characters most used by players in their respective cities, as well as references to the region and its community of players. The works also bring the Summoner names (a kind of nickname in the game) of some players who have been active on the server since 2012, as well as their achievements and characters they played with the most.
In São Paulo, the place chosen for the mural was the intersection of Avenida 23 de Maio and Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônio, one of the most famous and traditional in São Paulo. The drawing, made by the artist Bruno Mota, who is recognized in the São Paulo graffiti and illustration scene, with a strong influence of urban aesthetics and pop and oriental culture, brings references to the champions Yasuo and Yone, the most used by LOL players in SP. , in addition to honoring characters such as Tibers and Vi.

For cariocas, it will be possible to contemplate the art of Acme, in Largo da Prainha, a busy region in the south of the state capital. The graffiti artist, Acme, is the creator of works in several countries and states of Brazil, with participation in permanent collections such as the National Historical Museum, the Folklore Museum and the Favela Museum (RJ), of which he is a founding partner. In Recife, the place chosen was Bar Iraq, on Rua do Sossego, one of the best known in the neighborhood of Boa Vista. The place is famous for hosting an alternative audience from the artistic and cultural scene in Pernambuco, and it welcomes Chico Shiko, a Brazilian comic artist who currently lives in Florence, whose great works are the adaptation of famous graphic novels. Praça do Redentor, a famous spot in the neighborhood of Francisco, is the chosen place in Curitiba to receive the mural by artist Marcella Calado, a designer and illustrator with great inspiration in the female universe.
Exclusive missions in the League of Legends game
And of course the main character of this celebration – the community – will not fail to be presented with content in-game. In addition to the aforementioned tributes, Brazilian players will have 3 unique missions in the game, which when completed, will deliver rewards such as icons and emotes, free in Brazil. “These exclusive items were inspired by remarkable moments of this decade of League of Legends in Brazil, translated in the form of memes and expressions viralized by fans – this is yet another way of praising the importance of engagement and community involvement for LOL to be what it is”, explains Diego.
the missions are already in League of Legends in Brazil and stay until September 21 and then the items and emotes will be available for sale on other servers around the world.
