If you’ve been watching esports for a long time, you know that things used to be pretty… scuffed.

From extra days, to canceled games, to lag, esports broadcasting has never been easy. But things have only gotten harder with the rise of remote broadcasts.

See, it’s one thing to produce an esports event from a studio, or an arena with professional equipment. But it’s another thing entirely to do it from your bedroom.

Riot Games wants to change that though. They've build a $20 million studio in Dublin Ireland as part of what they're calling Project Stryker. A plan to make remote broadcasts as smooth as their LAN counterparts. There's never been anything like it before in esports, and it can do things no other studio can.

So, how did all this happen? And, more importantly — if you’re a viewer at home who’s deeply or even casually interested in the future of Riot esports, why should you care?
