Counter Logic Gaming vs. Curse Gaming

For the opening match of the North American Regionals, Curse Gaming faced off against CLG in an epic grudge match with everything on the line. With the winner securing their position in the Season Two World Playoffs in addition to a guaranteed salary for their entire team in the upcoming Championship Series in Season Three, both teams brought everything they had to win the most important games of their lives.

As if the stakes weren’t high enough, the teams have a famous rivalry that’s been a year in the making. Both Crs Elementz and Crs Saintvicious used to play for CLG, the latter clashing with CLG's captain HotshotGG so badly he was kicked from the team.

Who dares brave passage through the gates?! Be warned, fool. Many have walked the path beneath your feet, but you will find precious few who make the return journey. Through this gate lies the underworld, a vast expanse filled with nightmarish creatures beyond your puny mortal comprehension. In this harrowed place the bold shall become meek, and the mighty shall be laid low.

Summoners!

We know that you love watching League of Legends almost as much as you love getting down and dirty on the Fields of Justice. Watching streams gives valuable insight into every level of players’ strategies as well as commentary on the flow of the game, all without the stress of trying what you just learned against the competition. It helps that some of the most entertaining and passionate League of Legends players like Scarra, Ocelote and Guardsman Bob, stream and teach by example while showing off strats or just having some random good times. With many players being exposed to League of Legends streaming for the first time, as well as a growing community of players acting as paragons of the Summoner’s Code, the need for a dedicated place to showcase these players’ efforts is greater than ever.

The enormous talent of the League of Legends community shines through in all of the awesome fan creations, songs, and art that you send us every day. Sometimes, a community member puts forth an idea that excites players and inspires a reality. In MaTTcom’s case, it was two fully-realized skin splash arts that got the community jazzed - Pool Party Ziggs and AstroNautilus. These two skins are indicative of the power and creativity of our community and now they’re ready for some end-of-summer fun.



Pool Party Ziggs

It just got a little easier to give and get RP. Toys “R” Us stores in the US and Canada and Walgreens stores in the US are now selling League of Legends prepaid cards.
