This week, Riot announced that they would be opening a Sydney office and looking for a community manager, and an eSports organiser. Then, writes Alex Walker — the local scene immediately devolved into a frenzy of backstabbing and name calling. If you want to lead a community, maybe you shouldn’t act like a shark when there’s blood in the water.

Riot Games have announced that they are opening a Sydney-based office to help support the further global expansion of their ridiculously popular title, League of Legends.

“Riot Games Sydney is official. Known for its beaches, opera house, sports scene and friendly-looking marsupials, we’re excited to introduce a little bit of riotousness to Australia’s biggest city,” reads the announcement. “With teams in marketing, esports and community, Sydney Rioters will craft unique experiences on the web and on the ground to support the growing League of Legends community in the Oceania region.

“The best part? We’re just getting started. Riot Sydney will have much more to share soon.”

The Sydney-based office is hiring for an eSports Coordinator and a Community Manager.
