Santa Monica Beach is the end of America's Highway 66.
There are white beaches, blue sky, and palm trees here. Many Hollywood directors will shoot movies and TV series here.
The pier here has a long history and was built in 1908. There are restaurants, playgrounds, and green trails on the pier. When you come to the pier, you can rent a bicycle and ride on the trails.
There is a small playground on the beach, with Ferris wheel, Forrest Gump Shrimp Restaurant and some small shops.
And the headquarters of Riot is nearby.
As the champion of the mid-season invitational tournament, EDG is undoubtedly the representative of the six major competition areas, and the official staff of the Riots are quite enthusiastic.
At the agreed location, the staff brought Li Zixiu and his group into Riotou headquarters.
There is a very obvious sign at the entrance of the company.
"GLHF?" Tian Ye recited these English letters.
Li Zixiu follows his words, ""
"This is the creed that Riot Company believes in. Focusing on players' feelings and making players have fun is their secret."
Everyone suddenly realized that the staff member also gave Li Zixiu a thumbs up.
Well, the pen has been put on by others.
The factory manager put away his cell phone in dismay.
The corridor at the entrance does not pile up the awards won by LOL, but is hung with fans' paintings. Because in the official opinion, fans' love is the best award.
Li Zixiu noticed the story wall in the front hall, which was particularly eye-catching.
Here is a record of the "special services" of Riot Customer Service to players.
For example, one of the pictures tells: a fan of League of Legends named her newborn daughter Caitlin using the name of the female policewoman in the game. In order to express congratulations, the customer service staff personally made a complete set of skin hangers for the female policewoman in the Picheng, which were hung on the head of the bed of Little Caitlin.
Another player likes a werewolf skin, but that skin is out of print. In order to satisfy his wish, the customer service staff personally made a skin coat for him.
There are many stories like this.
As long as it was a place to visit, Li Zixiu and his group visited it.
After passing through the entrance corridor, Anne and her statue of Tibers stood at the entrance of the company. Tibers was not as cute as in the game, and it seemed to be rushing towards the visitors.
EDG everyone took a photo with Little Annie in this place, and the staff enthusiastically picked up the camera.
The office building in the park is named after "QWERDF", and the courtyard is also divided into three roads: upper, middle and lower. The company can see elements such as League of Legends-related figures everywhere.
Li Zixiu looked at everything she saw and felt as if she had come to the small world of League of Legends.
Walking through the courtyard, a "Bilgewater" bar appeared in front of everyone. Facing the dim lights in the bar, wooden tables and chairs, and mountain of rum bottles, I suddenly forgot to be in the game company, and it seemed like I had entered the real Pirate Bar.
The walls are covered with shabby charts that depict the treasures of Bilgewater and Shadow Island, which seem to be wrinkled by the water soaking.
The private room in the bar is transformed from a real wine barrel, and you can even smell a little wine.
Riot employees sit in the private room like pirates, raising their glasses and drinking. This is a special corporate culture given by Riot.
It was very big here, and Li Zixiu followed the staff to the office area.
The workstations are completely open, and even the president does not have an independent studio. If you need to hold a meeting to discuss, the designers will go to the conference room named after the hero to discuss, and there are a total of hundreds of conference rooms for selection.
Li Zixiu saw something funny and put a lot of trophys in the office area.
The staff said that those trophys were set up by Riot to honor outstanding game music producers.
The music released by Riot Company is always loved by many people.
Therefore, netizens often joke, "Blizzard is a CG company, and Riot is a music company."
Riot headquarters also has a monitoring center that monitors global servers, which can understand the situation of global servers. The screen next to it can also display the local weather on the server to prevent hurricanes and other weather from damaging the server.
The staff only briefly introduced this place and did not take everyone to visit in detail.
The unique corporate culture is really amazing.
In other companies, employees can only play games while they are casual, but Riot Games encourages designers to play more other games to serve as a source of inspiration.
They even copied a Korean e-sports Internet cafe 1:1 in the company, and employees can experience a variety of games including Blizzard Games at any time.
"Don't be envious, we also play games when we go to work."
Abu squinted his eyes and a smile on his face.
The factory manager spat.
Everyone was still discussing the culture of fist, and a tall brown-haired lady came towards her.
"Mike, you're finally here."
"Of course, our friends were picked up very smoothly, who were members of EDG."
"Hello, I'm Lena."
"Hello."
With the help of the interpreter, the two sides communicated in a friendly manner.
Lina walked up to Li Zixiu with a little excited expression.
What surprised Li Zixiu was that this designer named Lina was actually his fan.
The pot cover next to me was a little complaining.
I feel that as long as the beautiful lady is, she is a fan of this guy.
Under the leadership of Lina, everyone came to a compartment similar to an Internet cafe.
What everyone didn't expect was that there were many people sitting inside. When they saw EDG and his party arrive, they shouted excitedly.
“Wo!”
“EDG!”
"Come on, EDG!"
...
Abu smiled, obviously he had known it for a long time.
This is a friendly match, with Fist carefully prepared and selected five diamond-level employees to fight with EDG.
Faced with the delivery of the dishes, Li Zixiu and her group were not polite.
They all took out heroes who could show off their skills. The father beat his son and beat the designers to cry and cry for their parents. The people around them laughed. Obviously, they had expected this scene.
The factory manager was very excited and was muttering while killing people:
"Let you weaken, I will let you cut!"
It's really comfortable to beat the fist designer.
Later, several big guys from the fist came over and chatted with EDG, which were all very relaxed and ordinary topics.
EDG's journey has also been reported by Riot's official reports, which has aroused heated discussions among some netizens.
After all, M private has just ended, and everyone knows that this is the champion team.
Leaving Riot Company and following the schedule, EDG embarked on its last journey in Los Angeles.
Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles.
Sunshine, coast, fine sand, and bikini beauties.
Everyone was a little crazy about playing, burying Pawn into the sand, and everyone released the nature that they should have at this age.
Abu stood on the shore and felt the sea breeze.
Li Zixiu sat leaning on a chair, holding a glass of juice in her hand.
The sun is about to set, and the sun is already setting in the sky.
Looking at the running figures under the sunset, Li Zixiu knew that it was her lost youth.
I will return to China tomorrow, and the journey of pursuing my dreams is not over yet.
Chapter completed!
