Major League Gaming announced yesterday that it has officially added League of Legends to the 2011 Pro Circuit. The new addition will make its MLG debut at the event in Raleigh, NC on August 27th. This isn't the first time a new game was added to the MLG Circuit at Raleigh as StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty also debuted at the event last season.
Developed by Riot Games, League of Legends (sometimes simply called "LoL") is an action-RTS game that was heavily inspired by Warcraft III's Defense of the Ancients custom map. Since the game's launch in 2009, over 15 million players have downloaded League of Legends and 1.4 million people play it each day. With this kind of popularity, it was only a matter of time until it reached the Pro Circuit.
Four of the best teams from across North America will be competing at Raleigh next weekend for a chance to win $20,000. They are: Epik Gaming, Curse Gaming, Team Solo Mid, and Counter Logic Gaming. Matches will be streamed live online and fans can watch Pool Play on Saturday, August 27 from 10:00AM – 8:00PM ET and the Championship Finals on Sunday, August 28 from 10:00AM – 1:45PM ET free on www.majorleaguegaming.com.
