Riot Games is taking eSports very seriously. Brandon Beck, CEO and co-founder of the company behind the world’s most popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, League of Legends, promises that Season Three will deliver even more cash and prizes than the $5 million Season Two.
For the Championship Series broadcasts for the North American league, Riot Games is building out a TV studio where all of the regular season matches will be filmed and broadcast. Riot Games is working with Reality Check Systems, a production company that works with the NHL, NFL, MLB, Golf Channel, and NCAA Basketball on sporting events.
