For VCS – a tournament considered the focus, we will coordinate closely with VNGGames to bring the best experiences to Vietnamese players.
Reaching deeply into the Vietnamese market, how will Riot Games promote communication in the League of Legends community? Have you considered making in-game events based on Vietnamese culture?
Alex Kraynov – Riot Games APAC CEO: A very interesting question, because it is related to the interest of the Vietnamese gaming community at the present time.
With the goal of covering all regions of the world, we need to understand the personalities and characteristics of local players.

What future development directions will Riot Games continue to have so that Wild Rift can gain a large market share in Vietnam?
