Riot Games has grown into one of the world's most prominent online and mobile game developers, due in large part to the success of its 2009 flagship title League of Legends which hosts over 120 million users every month. Riot is riding the wave of online gaming growth, having made a well timed switch from PC-only into mobile-based gaming, and capitalizing on the rising popularity of esports, with the League of Legends World Championships one of the most watched events in the space. While expanding its portfolio with new titles has played a role in Riot's evolution, the company's continued success is more firmly rooted in the enduring strength of League of Legends itself. Riot has built a vast ecosystem around the game, from its global eSports tournaments and regional leagues to its numerous brand partnerships and sponsorships.
