When Riot Games first introducedLeague of Legendsin 2009, I wasn’t sure how quickly it was going to catch on. In retrospect, it seems silly that there was ever a doubt in my mind. The company is now saying the title has surpassed 15 million registered players.
Apparently, upwards of a millionLeague of Legendsgames are played each day, with daily time spent playing falling around 3.7 million hours. And the competitive scene! Can’t forget about that. 1,690,000 viewers watched the online broadcast of theLeague of LegendsSeason One Championship.
Expect the multiplayer online battle arena genre to blow up with newcomers soon enough. Hell, it’s already started.
