Mercedes-Benz creates a bespoke vehicle for a noteworthy purpose.
League of Legends is one of the premier gaming titles in the world of e-sports, and the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game has risen to prominence worldwide, with competitors and teams across the globe battling for the World Championship title each year. This year’s Worlds finale is rapidly approaching, taking place on November 9 in Chengdu, China, and as a long-time partner of the game and the developer that created it, Riot Games, Mercedes-Benz has been involved in the tournament since it began earlier this year.
As the finale of the tournament approaches, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled incredible custom vehicles made for the tournament, including a dedicated CLA Art Piece, based on the new generation of the CLA that has showcased some of the most advanced technology Mercedes-Benz has put in a vehicle yet, as well as an electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class that has the distinction of being the official Trophy Carrier for the Summoner’s Cup, the prize that teams are competing for in the tournament.
With a special trunk module made bespoke to carry the Summoner’s Cup, the electric G-Class trophy carrier is just one part of Mercedes-Benz’s longstanding partnership with League of Legends. One of the teams competing, the South Korean T1, is led by superstar player Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, the first inductee into the League of Legends “Hall of Legends,” and the owner of a bespoke Mercedes-AMG SL as a result of his induction into the hall of fame. The team has reached the Worlds final for the fourth time in a row, and is aiming for its third consecutive victory this year. With a special trophy carrier created for the tournament finale, and an art piece reminiscent of the game’s lore, Mercedes-Benz’s partnership with League of Legends grows even richer at this year’s Worlds finale.
