Summoners,
The ESL (eSports League) has just announced they have selected League of Legends to be a part of their Season VII Major Series. While the tournaments are for Europe, we wanted to share the new of the selection of League of Legends by a major competitive organization alongside the launch of Season One.
The full press release is attached for those that like to read stuff. We here at Riot encourage reading as it is fundamental.
In the last patch I'm sure that you met Clockmort's Frosted Ezreal. Well, this patch, it's my pleasure to introduce a few more skins inspired by some talented artists from the community. For those of you who think that fashion has never been the same since the invention of tie-dye, we're pleased to present Groovy Zilean. Groovy Zilean was inspired by a Empio/DarkeTiger's Flowerkeeper Zilean, along with some of the stylistic movements popularized back in the 1960s.
Greetings once again! I am Shawn “Babagahnoosh” Carnes – the Lead Creative Designer here at Riot Games. We are please to share with you another of our story introductions for the champions of the League, now known as “Champion Judgments”. Because of your feedback and suggestions, we have decided to change the name of these from Evaluations to Judgments. The previous title confused some folks who were looking for more game play related information. We think the new name will better address the needs of game enthusiasts, lore enthusiasts, and every one in between.

Week 3 (this week):
Alistar
Annie

Twisted Fate

Mordekaiser
Xin Zhao

As many of you are aware, some of the criteria surrounding leaves have changed since the launch of Season One. Due to player confusion around what resulted in a leave, as well as to compensate those players who may have been a victim of technical difficulties, with the latest patch we reset all players' leave totals back to the value they were at the launch of Season One. Just remember, now that we're all on the same page, the gloves are off! So no more shenanigans! Happy hunting!
Vladimir is an extremely active caster/tank champion. He excels in making terrible blood-related puns (listen to his in-game voice-over) and killing his enemies both by himself and with the help of his team. He’s extremely fun, active, and possibly as stylish as Taric!
Ladies and gents, prepare for incoming awesomeness! The new patch is on its way, and that means some new skins, and a bloody fantastic new champion, for you to enjoy. Are you sitting down? If not, grab a seat so we can get down to business!
