Riot Games launched the League of Legends Championship Pacific, uniting APAC under one banner. Koto Sydney shaped its bold new identity, making it feel like a cultural movement.

APAC has long been a powerhouse in global esports, but its role in League of Legends needed sharper definition. Riot Games created the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) to unify teams and fans across Vietnam, Singapore, Tokyo, and Taipei, and turned to Koto Sydney to build its brand. The challenge was clear: frame LCP not just as another league, but as a cultural force.
The solution began with a platform idea, What We’re Made Of—a proud rallying cry that celebrates APAC’s diversity while asserting its competitive intent on the global stage. From there, Koto developed a full ecosystem: strategy, architecture, tone of voice, and visual identity. At the heart sits The Pinnacle, a molten emblem of five players fused together, symbolising unity and ambition. Supporting it is a modular graphic system inspired by in-game lanes, a custom typeface (LCP Ignite) designed for multilingual use, and a voice that is raw, energised, and focused.
Every detail, from broadcast graphics to arena dressing, was designed to pull fans in and amplify the emotion of live play. The LCP brand proves that esports identity can do more than hype—it can carry culture, pride, and belonging. Read the full story to see how.
