League of Legends World Championships Coming to BBC Three
The League of Legends World Championships kicks off on October 15, and will be broadcast on BBC Three.
BBC Three have teamed up with the BBC Sports team and the people behind their Glastonbury coverage to bring the Livestream to your television sets.
It’s a considerable departure for Aunty, but considering the ridiculously large player base League of Legends has it’s a good move, and brings eSports further into the limelight of mainstream entertainment.
Who knows, this could be the first step to seeing videogames as prime time entertainment (would make a welcome difference from X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing).
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a bake off to watch.

Nick is an avid video game entusiast and has been since his mum first allowed him to play on the Atari 2600 she never touched. To this day he's had the pleasure of playing on a vast array of different gaming machines.
He's a recovering WoW-holic and when he's not playing games he's talking about games, reading about games, writing about games, watching videos about games, watching his son play games or chatting rubbish on Twitter.
A lover, not a fighter and an all round good guy (he would say that, he wrote this after all), he's happy to be here as part of GIAG.
