The League of Legends club sponsored by math teacher Mr. Gogol is a club where League of Legends players can come together to play their favorite online game. League of Legends is an online multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) made by Riot Games. According to their website, “League of Legends is a fast-paced, competitive online game that blends the speed and intensity of an RTS with RPG elements. Two teams of powerful champions, each with a unique design and playstyle, battle head-to-head across multiple battlefields and game modes.”
The club plans on playing Leagues of Legends competitively and casually. Their competitive team will be partnered with High School Star League, an organization that regulates a competitive league for high school students who play League of Legends. On hsstarleague.com, they state, “Since its inception in 2010, HSL has organized over a variety of events including online tournaments, inter-school scrimmages, and live charity events, which have involved over 1200 high schools and 5500 students.”
