The League Of Legends 2013 World Championship Begins Today
The third season League of Legends World Championship begins today, ending October 4, and Riot Game has released a video for the event to get everyone excited.
If you're not already there in person at the event, which is taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, unfortunately, you've already missed your chance to grab tickets. They were all sold out within an hour when tickets when on sale in August. Luckily, the event is streaming online, which you can see on LoLeSports.com.
Competitors from North America, Europe, China, Korea, and South East Asia will all be competing for portions the $8 million prize pool.
Our Take
League of Legends' popularity is staggering. If someone could figure out a way to combine it with Minecraft, I think everyone else would just give up on trying to make video games forever.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
