League of Legends or as it is commonly know as "LoL" is one of the biggest MOBA games out there at the time. It is created and drifted by the company RIOT and is one of the many games that excel in the market at the moment, they claim to have atleast 1.5 million gamers on their servers every day and that there are more than 10 million accounts created on the different game servers.
The regions is split up into four servers you got the EU West, EU Nordic and East, North America and Asia
to make them one of the biggest companies in this category.
But the game is not orignialy their idea it is their take on the extremely popular Warcraft III mod "Defence of the Ancients or DOTA for short. This is still a incredably popular mod and is played by millions even to this day (and we all know how old Warcraft III is).
The rules is pretty basic, kill the enemy's team main building first and win the game the rest is up to the players. You can either play a 3v3 or a 5v5 game and be matched with other players through their matchmaking system or you can play against "BOTS" to learn the game basics.
The basics are you at the start of the figth choose your champion from the champion pool you have avialiable, then when everyone has choosen a champion you load into the game world called the Summoners rift. Here you will face off against your enemy killing computer controlled BOTS to (or just kill the enemy team players) earn gold and experience to become as strong you can be to smite your oppnonent.
So as you can imagine it is a team game, so teamplay is an important aspect of the game. The top players and top teams in the game earn good money by playing in competiotions and by the many sponsors that follows beeing a proo team or a proo/popular player. This is still a untapped marked because the genre are still so young, and it is constantly evolving to please and intrigue us players for many many years to come,
Many of theese players use their spare time when they are not practising to stream live feed of them playing on different sites, and the popular ones earn good money doing so.
The League of Legends world championship just finished with TPA (Taipei Assasins) being the victors claiming a stagering one million dollar win bonus. Not bad since the game was released in 2009.
But my favorite team must be the popular North American team called Team Solo Mid or TSM for short. The players are awesome even tough they did not win this season championship, they are still pretty good. The team consists of:
TheOddOne - Jungler
Reginald - AP carry mid
Dyrus - Solo top
Chaox - AD carry
and
Xpecial - Support
Watch this awesome gametrailer:
And did i mention that the game is totaly free, you can register on their site, download the game and play it without a single fee. It is a freeplay based games so if you are dedicated and want a big champion pool to choose from you can pay to get different champions and skins, to stand out between the other players or "summoners" as RIOT calls us.
So join us be a summoner and join us in the fight in the Summoners rift!
