From concept to a live arena.
The final moments.
The arena at full volume — projection, light and the trophy lift, in one cut.
Six teams. Six worlds.
A one-minute cut of the main-stage content — six team worlds built for the players’ walk-outs, from direction and space to live delivery.
Six teams. Six worlds.1:00
Team profiles, stage worlds and show-day footage from the main stage.
Two years, two worlds.
Sketches, 3D characters, cinematic scenes and player intros — one pipeline, one team, all the way to the show call.
For EPICENTER’s Dota 2 events we produced the show content that opened the main event and carried the arena between matches: giant heroes climbing out of the stage set, team intros built around each roster’s logo, and cinematic scenes cut to the show’s timing.
Everything was designed for the physical stage — a sculpted set that the projection wraps around — so the characters seem to break out of the scenery rather than play on a flat screen.
2016, 2017 and a Major intro.
Two EPICENTER stages and a cinematic — our Dota 2 work, in order.

The opening, on the stage.
A loop from the main-event opening — projection across the sculpted set, as the audience saw it.
