Santa Monica Beach is the end of American Route 66.

There are white sand beaches, clear blue skies, and patches of palm trees, and many Hollywood directors shoot movies and TV series here.

The marina is steeped in history, built in 1908 and has restaurants, playgrounds and green paths. Once at the marina, you can rent a bicycle and ride the trails.

There is a small playground on the beach with a Ferris wheel, Forrest Gump shrimp restaurant, and a few small shops.

And the headquarters of Riot is near here.

As the champion of the Mid-Season Invitational, EDG is undoubtedly the representative of the six major regions, and the official Riot staff is quite enthusiastic.

At the agreed place, the staff brought Li Zixiu and his party into the headquarters of Riot.

At the entrance of the company, there is a clear sign.

“GLHF？” Tian Ye recited the English letters.

Lee Zi-so followed his words, "Goodluckandhavefun"

"It's Riot's credo, and it's their secret to focusing on how players feel and having fun."

Everyone suddenly realized that the staff member also gave Li Zixiu a thumbs up.

Yes, the pens have been filled by others.

The factory director put away the mobile phone gloomily.

The promenade at the entrance is not stacked with awards won by LOL, but is hung with paintings by fans. Because in the official view, the love of fans is the best award.

Li Zixiu noticed the story wall in the front hall, which was particularly eye-catching.

This is a record of Riot's "special service" to players.

For example, one of the pictures tells the story of a League of Legends fan who named her newborn daughter Caitlin after the name of the city's policewoman. In order to express their congratulations, the customer service made a complete set of skin ornaments for the Phi City policewoman and hung it at the head of little Caitlin's bed.

Another player liked a werewolf skin, but that skin was out of print, so in order to fulfill his wish, the customer service staff took matters into their hands and made a skin coat for him.

And so on and so forth.

As long as it is a place that can be visited, Li Zixiu and his party have visited it.

Passing through the entrance hallway, a statue of Anne and her Tiebs stood at the entrance to the company, Tiebs was not as cute as in the game, roaring as if it were rushing towards the visitors.

EDG everyone took a photo with Little Anne in this place, and the staff was very enthusiastic to pick up the camera.

The office building in the park is named after "QWERDF", and the courtyard is divided into three roads: upper, middle and lower, and elements such as League of Legends-related figures can be seen everywhere in the company.

Li Zixiu looked at everything as far as his eyes could see, and felt as if he had come to the small world of League of Legends.

Across the courtyard, a "Bilgewater" bar appears in front of everyone. Faced with the dim lighting, wooden tables and chairs, and mountains of rum bottles in the bar, I suddenly forgot that I was in a game company, and it was like entering a real pirate bar.

On the walls hang dilapidated charts depicting the treasures of the waters of Bilgewater and the Isle of Shadows, seemingly crumpled by the flooding.

In the private rooms of the bar, real wine barrels have been remodeled, and you can even smell a hint of alcohol.

Riot employees sit in the box like pirates and raise their glasses, which is a special corporate culture given by Riot.

It's a big place, and Li Zixiu followed the staff to the office area.

The workstations are completely open, and even the president does not have a separate studio. If it's time for a meeting, the designers go to the room named after the hero to discuss, and there are hundreds of meeting rooms to choose from.

Li Zixiu saw something more funny, and put a lot of trophies in the office area.

According to the staff, the trophies were created by Riot to recognize outstanding game music producers.

The music released by Riot is always loved by many people.

Therefore, netizens often ridicule, "Blizzard is a CG company, and Riot is a music company".

Riot HQ also has a monitoring center that monitors servers around the world, so you can learn about the situation of servers around the world. The screen on the side also shows the local weather of the server, so you can prevent the server from being damaged by weather such as hurricanes.

This place, the staff just briefly introduced, did not take everyone to visit in detail.

The unique corporate culture is really amazing.

In other companies, employees can only play games in their leisure time, but Riot Games encourages designers to play other games as a source of inspiration.

They even replicated a Korean e-sports café 1:1 in the company, so 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 smiled on his face.

The director snorted.

While everyone was still discussing the culture of fists, a tall brown-haired young lady walked up to them.

"Mike, you're finally here."

"Of course, it was a smooth pick up of our friends, who are members of EDG."

"Hello, I'm Lena."

"Hello."

With the help of an interpreter, the two sides exchanged amicably.

Lena walked up to Li Zixiu with a little excitement on her face.

To Li Zixiu's surprise, the designer named Lena turned out to be his fan.

The lid of the pot next to it has a little complaint.

I feel that as long as it is a good-looking young lady, she is a fan of this product.

Led by Lena, the group arrived at an Internet café-like cubicle.

What everyone didn't expect was that there were many people sitting inside, and when they saw the arrival of EDG's party, they shouted excitedly.

“Wo！”

“EDG！”

"Come on, EDG!"

……

Abu smiled, apparently aware of this.

It was a friendly match, and Riot carefully prepared to select five Diamond-level employees to fight against EDG.

In the face of the dishes delivered to the door, Li Zixiu and his gang were not polite.

One by one, they all took out heroes who were good at showing, and the father beat this group of designers like a son to cry and call their mother, and the people around them were laughing, obviously they had expected this scene.

The factory director fought hard, and while killing people, he muttered:

"Let you weaken, I'll let you cut!"

Hanging fist designer, really comfortable.

Later, a few Riot bigwigs came over and chatted with EDG, all of which were very light and ordinary topics.

EDG's journey was also reported on Riot's official website, which caused heated discussions among some netizens.

After all, MSI has just ended, and everyone knows that this is the champion team.

After leaving Riot, EDG embarked on the final leg of his journey to Los Angeles according to the schedule.

Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles.

The sun, the coast, the fine sand, and the bikini beauties.

Everyone went a little crazy and buried the Pawn in the sand, and everyone unleashed their natural instincts for this age.

Abu stood on the shore and felt the sea breeze.

Li Zixiu sat back in a chair with a glass of juice in her hand.

The sun was about to set, and it was already sunset.

Looking at the running figures in the sunset, Li Zixiu knew that it was his lost youth.

I will return to China tomorrow, and the journey of chasing my dreams is not over yet.
