About
For the 2022 League of Legends World Championship, Prime Gaming ran a giveaway across its Twitch and YouTube community. I led the technical coordination: tight timelines, high traffic, and real-time reward delivery.
The requirement was concrete: hold up under 200,000+ concurrent users without breaking entry or reward delivery.
Process
1
Campaign coordination
Aligned campaign structure, entry mechanics, and reward-validation API triggers with the Prime Gaming and Surf teams.
2
Load preparation
Set the server scaling strategy and ran load tests against simulated traffic surges.
3
Waiting room
Designed and deployed a queueing system that throttled traffic at peak entry points and kept the platform stable.
Outcome
The campaign ran with zero downtime at 200,000+ concurrent users.
