Hey everyone, I’ve got some exciting news for you all!  Best Buy® will be hosting a live web chat here on our community forums with some of the creative minds behind Riot Games’ League of Legends .  The event is scheduled to take place between 4:00pm and 6:00pm Central time (5:00pm – 7:00pm Eastern) on September 11th, so make sure to be here with your questions about the game! Here’s some background information on our upcoming guests from Riot Games: Marc Merrill (President/CMO) Prior to co-founding Riot, Marc worked as a corporate marketing executive at the billion dollar Business-to-Business media firm Advanstar Communications where he reported directly to the CEO.  He also held roles in analytical finance at Merrill Lynch and US Bancorp – where he learned many valuable lessons, including what he did NOT want to do for the rest of his life. Marc is extremely proud of the company culture and team at Riot, and contributes his marketing, leadership, and “l337” gaming skills. Steve Snow (VP of Production) Steve joined Riot with 12 years of game production experience, including 8 years as a Producer on big budget MMO’s. A seasoned veteran of the online games space, Steve has helped produce high profile MMOs for Perpetual Entertainment and NC Soft as well as some classic PC games including Dungeon Siege for Gas Powered Games, and Total Annihilation for Cavedog Entertainment. Steve brings to Riot a vast and extraordinary knowledge of production and management processes in game development as well as an uncanny knowledge of hot sauces. Tom Cadwell (Director of Systems Design) Prior to joining Riot, Tom worked at Blizzard as a Designer on World of Warcraft , designing aspects of the talent system and polishing the new player experience. He also worked on the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne , heading up play balance, and working on a variety of other systems. Tom holds a MBA from Kellogg and a BS in Computer Science from MIT. In his spare time, Tom plays too many games, and reads sci-fi while working up a sweat on the elliptical. Long ago, he was the winner of the Blizzard Brood War Beta invitational, and #1 on the SC & BW ladders several times. Can’t join us on the 11th?  Let us know if you have any questions and we’d be glad to ask them for you!
