What is eSports and League of Legends

Esports is a form of sports that uses video games as the competition medium. The games are played either online or offline in gaming tournaments and events. Most of the games are also livestreamed to fans using services such as Twitch.tv. Esports has a strong growing trend, with combined yearly global revenue of over 1 billion euros.

League of Legends is one of the biggest video games in 2021. In LoL, two teams of 5 players battle against each other using characters known as "champions". The eSports scene in LoL is huge, with hundreds of millions of fans viewing the tournaments each year. More information: https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/how-to-play/
