Inspired by the insanely popular Warcraft III scenario Defense of the Ancients, Riot Games' League of Legends has quickly made a name for itself in the competitive strategy-gaming scene since its late-2009 launch. It's free to play, it's insanely popular, and it's got a development team dedicated to making sure it stays as competitive as possible.
GameSpy recently sat down with design director Tom "Zileas" Cadwell to talk about where LoL's been, where it's going, and what kinds of hurdles one must overcome when crafting a well-balanced competitive game.
EGLX is promising Canada's largest gaming expo. There's a $5,000 prize pool for Hearthstone, with League of Legends and Dota 2 getting $2,500 respectively.
I'm actually surprised that there aren't more like these in the U.S. I am glad that it is not far or that expensive for someone wanting to compete. It IS hype.
