 In an interview with [https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/21/18276324/league-of-legends-the-simpsons-riot-games-interview-lazebnik-rozelle The Verge], Riot Games' co-head of e-sports Whalen Rozelle talked about the making of the episode: "As the show is a satirical comedy, we knew they would present their own take. While we were heavily involved as consultants, we were comfortable giving The Simpsons team full control over how they wanted to present e-sports in the show, given their tradition of excellence."
-In the interview, [[Rob LaZebnik]] talked about the collaboration: "I remember reading that something like eighty million people viewed the 2017 Season League of Legends World Championship, which is more than the NBA finals. I also watched the Free to Play documentary, and it all felt ripe for Simpsonification.", and how they made it feel like the language and visuals feel "authentic", but also "to poke a bit of fun at some of the stereotypes people have about gamers.", like when the announcer talked about [[Bart]] not giving the GG to the other team.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/21/18276324/league-of-legends-the-simpsons-riot-games-interview-lazebnik-rozelle The Verge - "How League of Legends ended up on The Simpsons"]</ref>
