‘League of Legends’ fuels college rivalries with live broadcasts
You no longer have to head to a basketball or football game to see your favorite college sports rivalry play out. Yahoo eSports and Riot Games’ uLoL are partnering on a series of five League of Legends live broadcasts that will pit players from major North American schools against each other once a week, starting November 4th at 6PM Eastern. You vote for your favorite rivalries among 12, ranging from Cal/Stanford to Harvard/Yale — the top 5 go on to in-person competitions that Yahoo will stream online. There will even be viewing parties at each school if you’d rather watch with fellow students. While there’s no certainty that these college MOBA match-ups will be as intense as the conventional kind, it’s safe to say that there’s a lot of pride on the line.
