Calling all League of Legends players. Major League Gaming, or MLG as it’s more commonly known has released details for the first ever, MLG League of Legends Arena that will be taking place August 3-5.
The three-day event will feature four of the world’s best League of Legends teams, competing live from the MLG Studio in NYC for a $10,000 1st Place prize, which would be a nice little bonus to take home with you don’t you think? Every single match of the tournament will be broadcast resulting in more than 20 hours of action-packed gameplay, for you to feast your eyes upon over the League of Legends Arena’s 3 days filed with gaming goodness. All matches will be cast by an all-star lineup of Leigh Smith (Deman), Dan Dinh, and Trevor Henry (Quickshot).
The League of Legends Arena will be broadcast LIVE across three streams at www.majorleaguegaming.com. All streams are free in standard definition and viewers can upgrade to HD to watch in up to 1080p without ads, and get DVR functionality in order to rewind and watch matches that may have been missed.
The LoL Main stream will be broadcasting every single match of the tournament. There will also be two Dr Pepper Ultimate Access streams that will each feature the broadcast of one of the teams playing on the main stream, with player chat channels to listen in to what the teams are saying to each other, taking you to a whole new level of watching your favourite MLG players battle it out, whilst you can hear them screaming tactics and other possibly unpleasant things to one another, which could turn out to be pretty entertaining.
