Legends of a Different League

League of Legends is one of the most popular Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games in existence today. Nearly 27 million people play on a daily basis, a large portion of which login on the Russian server of the game. The Russian server of League of Legends (http://ru.leagueoflegends.com/) consists of the standard artwork for the champs and site with completely Russian text and audio. with nearly 600,000 players accessing a single Russian server it should come as no surprise that one of the top players of League of Legends is Russian. Summoner NiQ, or as he's referred to in the real world Sebastian Robak, has achieved the nigh unobtainable rank of Challenger 1 in a relatively short of time, a feat of no little significance in the realm of League. Needless to say this goes to show that games can be one of the strongest unifying forces across all boundaries.
