From the very beginning with League of Legends, we set out to create a very fun and balanced experience that would appeal to a mass audience.
Now that we’re wrapping up Season One, we really want to continue to evolve the experience to help establish it as one of the top eSports titles in the world.
And that’s why we’re excited to announce the League of Legends Season One Championship at the largest LAN event in the world, Dreamhack!
Dreamhack is an eSports landmark. If you’re a gamer, and you’re playing at Dreamhack, you’re kind of a big deal. You’re excited, you’re up on stage – there’s thousands of people that are cheering. It’s an awesome event!
Dreamhack is the biggest LAN party in the world! It takes place in Jönköping, Sweden from June 18th to June 21st.
We’re flying out the eight best teams from around the world and letting them battle it out over a one hundred thousand dollar cash prize and the title of ‘League of Legends World Champions.’
The Season One Circuit is comprised of online and live tournaments in North America, Europe and Asia, which have been hosted by some of the most respected eSports organizers in the world.
To date there have been nearly fifty certified circuit tournaments where top-placing teams have earned circuit points and already established themselves as championship contenders.
In May, the field of teams will be narrowed down to eight finalists, who will travel to Dreamhack and compete against each other for the very first time ever, live!
The last team standing will undeniably be the best League of Legends team in the world.
Even if you can’t join us in Sweden, we’ll still be streaming live all three days with tournament matches, interviews with competitors and other Dreamhack festivities all coming right to your home.
We’re also running a contest to bring two of you with us! One lucky summoner and a friend are getting a flight, hotel, and VIP treatment for the entire event, on us.
Details on this contest are coming soon, so stay sharp, summoners!
We’ve been overwhelmed by the response from players and the eSports community and how they’ve embraced League of Legends.
And the Season One prize pool is massive! A hundred thousand dollars! It’s going to be awesome.
Hope to see you at Dreamhack in June, but if you can’t make it, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Stay tuned and watch LeagueofLegends.com for more details regarding our live coverage.
