Brain Dead Drops a League of Legends Collection Tuesday and Hosts a Free Worlds Final Watch Party

Brain Dead is bringing League of Legends into CyberCon. The label said on Monday, November 9, that it has made an exclusive League of Legends collection for a watch party of the game's world championship final, and that the collection goes on sale online on Tuesday, November 10, at 10am PST. The party is on Saturday, November 14, at Brain Dead Studios, its cinema on Fairfax Avenue, in the middle of CyberCon, the week of cyberpunk, anime and tabletop games it runs from November 10 to 15.

Brain Dead's post shows six pieces, with the two names side by side: four tees and two wide printed pieces that look like desk mats; Brain Dead hasn't described them. The two charcoal tees carry colour prints, one Brain Dead's head silhouette filled with League art, the other a vintage-style League of Legends badge over Brain Dead in script. The two cream tees are drawn in purple: a sketch of Summoner's Rift, the game's main map, and a dragon with both logos stacked beside it. The mats are full-colour illustrations, one of a blindfolded fighter kicking through flying rocks, the figure on the party's poster, the other a crowded battle scene. Brain Dead hasn't given prices or said whether there's more; a CyberCon + League of Legends page is up on its site, with nothing on it yet.

The watch party

The poster bills it as a movie theater watch party for the Worlds 26 Championship Final: a live stream from 9am, free entrance and free exclusive gifts, at 611 N Fairfax Ave. The final itself is on the other coast. Riot Games has it at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on November 14, listed at 2pm ET, which is 11am in LA, after the Swiss stage, quarterfinals and semifinals in Allen, Texas. Brain Dead's caption says to come hang out with the community of gamers, and it doesn't say what the gifts are.

The party shares a Saturday with CyberCon's Interstella 5555 night and comes the day before the week ends with Magic: The Gathering tournaments in Los Angeles and Portland; Brain Dead's latest Magic collaboration is due during CyberCon too. The week opens on Tuesday, the same day the League collection goes online, with a screening of the 1987 anime anthology Robot Carnival.

The read

CyberCon has leaned on Magic: The Gathering for its merch, and this adds a video game's biggest night to the week: the collection lands four days before the final of the game's world championship. It's a small run as Brain Dead shows it, tees and mats, but it's co-branded rather than a fan tribute, and it turns a free screening into a reason to shop: buy online on Tuesday, wear it to the cinema on Saturday. We'll add prices when the page goes live.
