With League of Legends fans setting viewership records in the Western world for the League of Legends Season One Championship, we're as excited as you are to kick Season Two off in style. As you've helped us become one of the most popular online titles to date, we thought it was only appropriate that League of Legends Season Two should boast the largest prize pool in eSports.
The League of Legends Season Two prize pool will feature a record setting $5 million prize pool!
The thriving eSports community surrounding League of Legends continues to grow at an incredible pace, and it?s the enthusiasm of competitors from across the globe that has engendered this special opportunity. And with League of Legends featured as an official title in such landmark eSports organizations as Major League Gaming, Electronic Sports League, and the World Cyber Games, this substantially increased prize pool is just the first glimpse into what we have planned for the upcoming season.
The money will be funding prizing for local, national and international tournaments to foster and grow the League of Legends eSports scene. For starters, the new season will feature weekly livestreams of our ongoing regional tournaments in North America, and across both European enviornments, so stay tuned for more information on these broadcasts and to see a lot more of League of Legends enthusiasts like Phreak, Rivington III and Nikasaur.
League of Legends Season Two is coming this fall, summoners! And with $5 million on the line this time around, the League of Legends eSports scene just got even more exciting!

Pretty cool  Had the nasty side-effect of HoN and Dota 2 players invading the forums with their QQ tho.

Well, all it really shows is that it apparently costs more than 5 million dollars to make a proper replay client for LoL.

Btw Sullla uses two different gold per five items in his newest video. I thought the gold per five effects were now unique. Anyone know how it really works?

Unique means you can't stack 2 of the same item and get the effects from both. In this case stacking 2 Philo stones would give you both HP regen + Mana regen from them, but the gold per 5 is unique so only one of those counts.
Its like you can't stack Hextech revolvers spell vamp anymore or stack sunfires damage to nearby enemies either.

A $5M prize pool is sort of meaningless if it's split into 10,000 events. I mean it is a sign they've earmarked that many dollars to marketing via competitive events, but it doesn't speak to the quality/draw of any individual event vs their competition.

It does say something though that LoL is now a part of MLG (even if it's fairly minor for the next MLG event). Being including with SC2, COD and Halo isn't a minor thing imo. Hopefully that'll force Riot to be more responsible with their update priorities.
