I am a person who does not really have a lot of experience with RTS. The only one I play is Halo Wars, and I love that game. I wanted to expand my RTS choices. What's it like to play this game? Is it fun? I am really interested.

For those of you unaware of what League of Legends is, in the words of Riot Games, the developer of the game: League of Legends is a fast-paced, competitive online game that blends the speed and intensity of an RTS with RPG elements. Two teams of powerful champions, each with a unique design and playstyle, battle head-to-head across multiple battlefields and game modes. With an ever-expanding roster of champions, frequent updates and a thriving tournament scene, League of Legends offers endless replayability for players of every skill level. The game is Free to Play, and averages 27 million players every day. Players earn Influence points for playing and doing well in-game, which can be redeemed to unlock more than 100 Champions and game altering runes. Additionally, through Microtransations, players can unlock champions or various other unlocks. A rotation of champions is constantly offered to all players that are Free to Play, without having to be unlocked. Every Champion has a unique set of abilities and play-style, which players try to use to their best ability in conjunction with other players on their team. Players can team up and go head to head, or play against a team of developed AI. Note: This video is old, and does not look like League of Legends today, but is a great overview.

Two teams allegedly agreed to split the cash earning no matter who won. Both teams disqualified. I find this very unsportsmanlike conduct. Read below for more details. From: http://www.g4tv.com/ By: Leah Jackson The top two League of Legends teams were disqualified at the MLG Summer Championship for collusion. Team Curse NA and Team Dignitas had already secured the top spots going in to the grand final but instead of choosing to play out the games in a standard manner they made two very bad decisions. The two teams first raised eyebrows when they chose to play in the unconventional format of All Random, All Middle, to "entertain fans" rather than play in a traditional format that is normally seen in tournament play. What made matters worse was that the teams allegedly agreed to split the prize money of $32,000 regardless of who won the match. According to Major League Gaming, this clearly violated MLG’s Official Pro Circuit Conduct Rules which state, "competitors may not intentionally Forfeit a Game or conspire to manipulate Rankings or Brackets." Riot Games, developer of League of Legends, agreed with MLG's ruling and as a result, MLG disqualified both teams, denied them all of their prize money, and announced that both teams will not be receiving any Circuit Points towards the North American Regionals. "Both teams have agreed that the disqualification was warranted. While there is some contention over the exact nature of the actions taken by Curse NA and Dignitas which led to the disqualification, both teams, as well as MLG and Riot, agree that any collusion, or anything involving not playing a tournament match to win, warrants disqualification," said MLG. Following MLG's announcement, members of both teams quickly issued apology statements to MLG, Riot, and the fans. You can check out Team Curse's statement below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXOpt86zVJ0&feature=player_embedded Before anyone tries to defend either team, consider what would happen if MLG allowed this kind of behavior. At the end of the day, the whole point of the tournament is to determine who is the best player or group of players in the world. If they allowed this once, they'd have to allow it for everyone which would completely ruin the tournament. MLG is trying to legitimize eSports, and just like in real sports, there can only be one champion so why should it be any different here? -
From: http://www.gameinformer.com/ By: Jack Gardner Thousands are set to descend on Raleigh, North Carolina for the biggest North American eSports event of the summer. The Championship will feature a total prize pool of nearly $215,000. MLG expects thousands to flock to their summer championship at the Greater Raleigh Convention Center and millions more to watch the online streams. From the amount of content they are putting out for the Summer Championship, I wouldn't be surprised if they shattered their previous attendance/viewership records. The main events will be the StarCraft II, Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur V, and League of Legends tournaments. StarCraft II fans can expect to see previous champions Taeja, Marine King, and Violet going up against hundreds of prospective summer champions for the $25,000 first place prize. There will be four streams for StarCraft II matches cast by Day[9], Apollo, djWheat, TotalBiscuit, Mr Bitter, Rotterdam, Rob Simpson, Tim Frazier (Robin), Axeltoss, Kibbelz, Clutch, and Adebisi (observer). Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur V each have a first place prize of $16,700 and will feature the likes of DetroitBalln, CDjr, Keev_, Kayane, LostProvidence, Pig of the Hut, among others. Each fighting game will have one dedicated stream cast by Tom Brady for Mortal Kombat, Bibulus forSoul Calibur V, and hosted by Juicebox Abel. League of Legends will have the largest prize money with $40,000 given to the winning team. Twelve teams will be competing for honor and riches including Curse and Dignitas. Two streams of the competition will be cast by Dan Dinh, Optimus Tom, Deman, Monte Cristo, Jaws, and Jatt. In addition to all of that eSports goodness, there will also be several other awesome events occurring. Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft II World Championship Series North American Finals will have a separate stage and competition area. Players will be competing for $60,000 and the chance to represent their countries at the Battle.net World Championship in Shanghai November 17-18. Some of the players to watch will be Scarlett, ViBE, and MajOr, winners of the Canada, US, and Mexico Finals, respectively. There will be two exhibition tournaments of Virtua Fighter 5 and Skullgirls each with $2,000 prize pools. The exhibitions will be held Friday through Saturday. For more information on attending or viewing the MLG Summer Championship, click here. Also, MLG has been kind enough to provide me with a few HD codes that can be used to view the event in HD without ads and with full access to all streams. Tweet at me, @Riverboatjack, with #MLGRaleigh for a chance to win one of the codes! Tune in August 24-26 to watch the action go down in Raleigh.
