About League of Legends

LOL, for short, is a game where players assume the role of an unseen summoner that controls a champion with abilities that battle against a team of other players or game-controlled sponsors.

The multiplayer online battle arena video game was developed for Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX and follows a freemium model in which micro-transactions support it for gaming upgrades by players.

The first release was in 2009, and the game has grown in popularity, increasing with an active and expansive amount of fans who enjoy playing the game. Popularity has reached the point that LOL was the most played PC game in North America and Europe regarding the number of player hours clocked.

League Championship Series is the competitive platform for the game, where competitions are located in Los Angeles and Berlin and consist of 10 professional teams in each continent.

Players can choose from three current running game modes: Summoner’s Rift, Twisted Treeline, and Howling Abyss. More About League of Legends.
