Hello, I’m currently pursuing Masters in Data Science, my aim is to work as Data Scientist/Analyst at Riot.
I need some guidance on what all things I should know and how I can excel for that role.

You should get a job as a data scientist at literally any company first. Then plan to transition from that job to Riot at that point. I highly doubt riot has target schools for their data science positions.

I'll repeat myself, personal projects are great to show interest but anyone can do a personal project. You need to get experience actually working as a data scientist in a real company as close to gaming as you can get. I imagine there's 100s of resumes of people applying to these roles with a bunch of personal projects and none of them have the current title of "data scientist" at a real company. Prior experience in a role is the #1 thing a hiring manager will look at. Personal projects are definitely after that.
