Story: Keying off the then-unreleased animated series Arcane, the Show Open served as an introduction for audiences into the worlds of Zaun and Piltover, as well as the two sisters at the heart of the story.

An intricately interwoven set of elements created a piece in which the animated characters & their world, and the live musical artists & their worlds were brought together in one seamless narrative structure. Sophisticated animation met epic built environments, knitted together with stage extension, visual effects, hi-tech live lighting effects, practical effects, projection mapping, and sweeping cinematic camera work to create a Show Opener worthy of the rich League of Legends World and of the world-class caliber of the players.
