League of Legends Tickets

League of Legends is a wildly popular multiplayer online battle arena computer game developed by Riot Games that has become one of the world's premier e-sports. Pro players from around the world gather during playoffs and championships to display their skill and cunning. During these events, players and fans unite to watch who will come out victorious and earn the massive cash prize.

Plot

League of Legends is a computer game created by Chinese-owned, Los Angeles-based game development studio Riot Games. The game has a fantasy theme and comes with playable "champions" who have different strengths and weaknesses. Once the player selects their desired champions, they can then lead an artificial intelligence army against another player's army to gain control of the territory. In the beginning of each League of Legends match, the player's champions start at a base level, allowing them to gain strength through fighting experience and special items from acquired gold.

Schedule

In North America and Europe, Riot Games organises official e-sport competitions called League of Legends Championship Series, also known as LCS. The events are held throughout the year and League of Legends tickets often sell out. Venues for the League of Legends Championship Series include Madison Square Garden in New York, Wembley Arena in London, Brussels Expo in Belgium and Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin.

Trivia

Video games have been played competitively for decades, with players being awarded large cash prizes and even Ferrari sports cars. The League of Legends Championship Series has such a strong following that some players have even been granted athletic visas when visiting other countries to play competitively. League of Legends, often called LoL for short, is a free to play game and was originally inspired by a modification of the popular real-time strategy computer game, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

They launched their first game, League of Legends, in 2009, which was developed by a team that included ex-developers of their main competition at the time, Defense of the Ancients (DotA). They also recruited key talent from Blizzard Entertainment, creators of the massively multiplayer online role playing game, World of Warcraft. Riot Games is known to be extremely player-centric, with company mottos such as "We listen to what players say and do. We analyze deeply. Then we act to make their experience better."
