E-sports coming to Skangum!?!

Welcome back to my blog. If you enjoyed the first post, please keep tuning in for more updates about Good Ole Skangum.

This week in the news we have some rather quite interesting information to be passed on to all of my glorious viewers. Esports have taken the United States of America by storm and Good Ole Skangum is no different.

First I should start with what is an Esport. An Esport is a multiplayer video game played competitively for spectators, typically by professional gamers. And the main one that is sweeping across universities in the United States is none other than League of Legends.

 League of Legends is a fast-paced, competitive online game that blends the speed and intensity of an RTS with RPG elements. Two teams of powerful champions, each with a unique design and playstyle, battle head-to-head across multiple battlefields and game modes. With an ever-expanding roster of champions, frequent updates and a thriving tournament scene, League of Legends offers endless replayability for players of every skill level. It is known as a MOBA which is a multiplayer online battle arena. LOL (League of Legends) is one of the premier MOBAs of the world, with world championships. Many different nations and countries have teams to compete against each other. Esports are starting to become so big that they are starting to be broadcasted on ESPN, which is a huge milestone for Esports. And not just League of Legends, there is DOTA2, Heroes of the Storm, Smite and a few others which are dominating this industry. These games have been rising in popularity in the recent years and are still growing. Many schools now are forming League of Legends teams to compete against each other. And many schools are starting to give out scholarships for League of Legends. Can you imagine, a world where Esports is just as popular and watched as regular sports. Where it becomes a tradition to watch the summer finals or the world finals of League of Legends during holidays instead of parades or other sports. Anyway, that is all I have for today Muskies. Remember stay golden at Good Ole Skangum.
