We’ve got a very special and very exciting interview later today on our Twitch Channel, featuring Alex Fennel and Marc Merrill, co-founder of Riot Games, makers of League of Legends. Marc awarded Alex a $5,000 sportsmanship award for his outstanding attitude in the face of an unpleasant circumstance at the LVO 40k Championships semi-finals game which Alex then turned around and donated to a Children’s Hospital and got his employer to match the donation! But it doesn’t stop there. Upon hearing about this display of generosity, Games Workshop then also made a contribution to the effort and matched the $5,000 to the Children’s Hospital for a grand total of $15,000! Be sure to tune in for the interview at 2:30pm PST to hear Marc and Alex discuss the incident and their motivations with Reece.

Make sure to stay tuned for an interview at the end of this cast with Nick Nanavati, LVO and ITC 40k Champion for the 2017 season as he talks about what it takes to win it all!
