• Spacetime Studios Partners with League of Legends Pro Esports Players



    AUSTIN, Texas - April 15, 2015
    - Spacetime Studios, a Texas-based independent mobile game developer and publisher, has partnered with notable League of Legends professional gamers James “PhantomL0rd” Varga, Joedat "Voyboy" Esfahani and Stephen “Snoopeh” Ellis to consult on the development of Call of Champions. Built from the ground up for mobile devices, Call of Champions is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game that tweaks and streamlines traditional game mechanics to encourage fast, strategic matches. The former Esports players will bring their unique backgrounds and competitive MOBA knowledge to assist in refining the Call of Champions gameplay experience.

    “James, Joedat and Stephen have helped level up competitive gaming and define what it means to be a pro gamer today,” said Gary Gattis, CEO of Spacetime Studios. “Their extraordinary ability to understand MOBAs and how players interact with these games makes them the perfect partners to blaze new trails on the mobile platform alongside our Call of Champions development team.”

    The three professional gamers serve as independent consultants, having extensive experience in the MOBA genre and on the Esports circuit. James “PhantomL0rd” Varga began his professional gaming career with Team Fortress Classic, Counterstrike, Quake3 Arena, and World of Warcraft before immersing himself in the competitive League of Legends community where he co-founded the original V8 Esports team. Joedat "Voyboy" Esfahani is among the most accomplished and well-known League of Legends players in the world; he has represented teams such as Dignitas, Counter Logic Gaming, and Curse in tournaments as large as the World Championships. Stephen “Snoopeh” Ellis is a former professional League of Legends player who has competed with and against the best players in the world for more than four years.

    Call of Champions is a next-generation MOBA refined for mobile and designed for competition. Players will be able to control one of over twenty different Champions of five distinct classes in the arena, each equipped with their own unique playstyle and special abilities. All of the action is packed into a thrilling 5-minute match, enabling players to enjoy quick, competitive games with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Call of Champions features a robust social toolset, allowing players to recruit team members, plan matches, earn achievements, and even spectate live matches from their mobile devices.

    “PhantomL0rd”, "Voyboy" and “Snoopeh” will be the first players to participate in the Call of Champions Alpha Program. Spacetime Studios will open the Alpha to an elite audience of competitive gamers and innovators later this month.
