For a very long time now, professional gaming has started to catch on and it has now finally spread like wildfire, according to game analyst Scott Steinberg. The booming world of eSports has become much more popular to a very large group of people. Players compete with each other using their wit and mastery over keyboard controls and clicks on the mouse. League of Legends is one of the most popular eSports in today's environment. In this new hot trend, the players feel like they are actual sports superstars with fans cheering for them.

According to some players, the game has in fact actually turned them into a celebrity. Due to the younger following of the game, most of the players are also currently students. They play the game during their free time until they become experts at it. League of Legends is basically a 30 to 40 minute game where players have to kill each other to get to the other base. It can be compared to a chess match where players have to outsmart each other or else they will lose.

The number of corporate sponsors that have been hosting tournaments has also grown recently. In fact, Coca-Cola has just launched a championship series. Players prepare in the same way that athletes do; they even have a coach who will train them on what to do. Some tournaments even have million dollar prizes for the champion. Currently, the South Koreans are still hailed as the undisputed gods of eSports. They have been dominating not only League of Legends but other eSports as well. Of course, the number of people participating in the competition is also very high. Last year, the championship match of League was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and had sold out of tickets in just an hour. The entire stadium has an 18,000-seat capacity. This is how huge the game has turned out to be.
