Welcome back for the latest community roundup, where we highlight our favorite fan-made Rivals art, music, videos, and more. This is #15 in the series and will have a slight lean towards Sylvanos since there has been a lot of great fan reactions following his announcement.
ART
Sylvanos certainly seemed to catch a lot of artists’ eyes, with fan art already showing up just hours after his reveal. A few people even wanted to explore his cuter side.

@RivalsOfAether Sylvanos is by far one of my favorite legends to do art of, and your artists did a spectacular job on him. I'm proud I completed this just 3 hours after announcement, and I'm glad with how it came out! pic.twitter.com/wU49kIjtqw

A few local scenes also put out new power rankings in January. As far as we’re concerned these are works out of art as well. If you’re a Rivals player in these areas make sure you check out your locals!

MUSIC
We love this super chill lofi mix of the main menu music that [ p w r ] put together using sound effects from Maypul.
VIDEOS
THS | Mokun and some other Colombian players have also been putting in work to grow their local scene. If you’re interested in Rivals from around the world you can see their latest top 4 right here:
We featured Jarek’s highlight video in our event wrap-up for singles, but he also put a lot of work into a doubles version that people might have missed.
OTHER GOOD STUFF
Absa Gang from RivalsOfAether
