League of Legends Season 3 Grand Finale Airing Soon

by on September 14, 2013
 

The League of Legends World Championship Season 3 Finale will air on October 4th, live from its sold-out venue, the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The two best teams of season 3 will play to a packed venue of over 10,000 fans, with the whole competition streamed live online.

Season 2’s broadcast pulled in more than eight million viewers, so Riot Games are likely hoping that they can top that total this year.

The League of Legends crown has been contested over the past year, with Valve’s DOTA 2 having the biggest impact. Other franchises continue to dabble in the MOBA template, mind, with a Dead Island game coming soon that takes an undead approach to the growing genre.

Not that any of the games seem able to touch League of Legends style numbers, with, again, Dota 2 coming closest to League’s concurrent viewer records.

Are you going to be tuning in? Personally I’m not the biggest MOBA fan, but I do like a bit of eSports drama…

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
