Now, full-grown adults can forge an illustrious career in esports. Once considered child’s play, video games have evolved into a booming industry valued at near $1.4 billion. “So having that adrenaline in the moment is what keeps me going.”Įric “Licorice” Ritchie (left) and Choi “huhi” Jae-hyun attend the League of Legends World Championship 2022 Location Reveal on Nov. “The people are screaming and the stage is shaking,” Choi told The Chronicle. About 30 minutes before the match, Choi puts away a cup of coffee. They ease their minds and calm their nerves by playing LoLdle, a Wordle-type game based on League of Legends trivia. He and his boys get ready for the cameras with makeup and hair spray. If it lost, he uses the other one.Īfter a pregame meal with his teammates, where they bond and scout the coming opponent, Choi makes his way to Riot Games Arena, located across the street from Riot Games headquarters. If his team won the previous match, he takes the same driveway. When he arrives at the Guardians’ headquarters in Playa Vista, usually around 3 p.m., he has two options for driveways. Post Malone is part of Choi’s superstition at this point. After a shower, he blasts bangers such as “Congratulations” and “White Iverson” to get his juices going. Choi - the 28-year-old native of Seoul known mostly as Huhi - has been locked in since he awoke.
