VERIZON GAMING
5G Built for Gamers
IDEA: Highlight LCS fans as an integral part of the esports experience as the “Sixth Champion” of the team, and connect them all throughout the week of the tournament.
RESULTS: 53k+ unique engagements across Verizon and partner content about the activation. Plus, seven lucky Golden Capsule winners.
IN A GAME OF LEAGUE, EACH TEAM HAS FIVE PLAYERS…
A.K.A. Champions
But we revealed that it’s not just about the players. There’s six champions, actually, and the true Sixth Champion… has been them all along. So, we passed out gold stars to the most passionate LCS fans.
Then we passed out gold loot capsules, just like the ones you get in-game.
And I got to tell a bunch of League influencers what to say to their fans.

We kept the hype train going by partnering with DrLupo to engage his audience and foster a deeper connection between him and his fans. We gave Lup Crates away to six very lucky winners, after 50k+ total stream views and 10k+ unique engagements across DrLupo’s and Verizon’s posts about the activation.

And, I wrote in-chat trivia that fans had to answer for a chance to win. Questions included things like, “Who is DrLupo’s wife?” (Answer: Mrs. DrLupo.)
Oh and his fans loved the boxes, btw.
