They didn’t purchase Riot fully like your post seems to imply. They purchased a chunk of shares in Riot and the publishing rights for LoL in China. Just like Garena did for Korea and South East Asia.
they did purchase riot-_- . 95% of riot is belong to tencent.. unlike Garena bro.. Garena has 0%. so basically Tencent is the owner of riot.
