2XKO wasn't a "mistake," Riot's Marc Merrill says. "We delivered a game that took risks"

The 2XKO story is a sad one. In many ways, it felt somewhat doomed to fail - the fighting game market, while expansive, is hard to crack, and while 2XKO had impeccable style and the might of League of Legends behind it, it never really felt like the right fit for Riot. I can see [...]
