Attorney Chris Greeley Appointed Head of Esports for League of Legends

Chris Greeley, previously a partner at Herrick Feinstein LLP, has taken over for Naz Aletaha and will be Head of Esports at Riot Games’ League of Legends. Aletaha resigned her post last month at Riot Games, creating the opening for Greeley.

Greeley will oversee “creating a comprehensive, long-term plan that puts the financial success of the participating professional teams ahead of the sport’s expansion,” according to India Today Gaming. Greeley previously was Head of Esports for North America and Oceania at Riot Games, where he was responsible for the vision and strategy for the competitive and business operations of all of Riot’s competitive esports (League of Legends, VALORANT, Wild Rift, Teamfight Tactics and Legends of Runeterra) in the US, Canada and all of Oceania. Greeley was also one of the primary architects of the Legends Championship Series (LCS) franchise model and led the 2017 application process for participation in the LCS.
