What is League of Legends?

League of Legends: Clash of Fates is an upcoming Multiplayer Online Battle Arena(MOBA) video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows. It was first announced on October 7, 2008 and scheduled to be released in September 2009. The game has been in a closed beta since April 10, 2009.

A previous designer for the popular Warcraft III custom map, Defense of the Ancients: Allstars (commonly abbreviated as DotA), Steve “Guinsoo” Feak, and a creator of the fansite which was previously the official support base for the map(www.dota-allstars.com), Steve “Pendragon” Mescon are involved with Riot Games in the making of League Of Legends: Clash of Fates. Guinsoo created DotA: Allstars from the original DotA, created by Eul, by adding his own mix of content, including over 40 heroes, numerous items, and various gameplay changes. Guinsoo then passed DotA: Allstars on to its current developer, Icefrog. Pendragon, who is the Director of Community Relations for Riot Games, helped create the DotA: Allstars website along with its forums, and is still currently working on League of Legends: Clash of Fates.

I’m a DoTA player and I’m also a fan of this new game League of Legends. Luckily, I’ve receive an email that I was accepted to be a tester for the Closed Beta of League of Legends. As what beta tester do, we will help the developers and test the game to look up on game issues, game balance and more…  I’ll make a journal here on my game experience of LoL.
