There are many ways to embrace a love of a video game, whether that's by playing it, watching it be played, or dressing up as characters from it. But cosplay is about much more than just putting on an outfit.
In the latest episode of GameSpot Chronicle, we explore the world of cosplay and talk with some of the best League of Legends cosplayers to find out exactly why they've invested so much into the art. We chat about their passion and the creative lengths they go to in embracing cosplay.
The level of creativity involved with cosplay is incredible. The complexity involved in crafting these outfits can require a tremendous amount of planning, ingenuity, and hard work.
