The Big Ten Network announced Thursday that it will be covering a rather unusual competition between two familiar teams.
Ohio State and Michigan State will compete against each other next week in the highly-competitive online game League of Legends.
“The BTN Invitational: A University League of Legends Event” will take place on Friday, April 22, from noon to 4 p.m. in Boston. Fans can cheer for their favorite Big Ten team via livestream available on both BTN2Go and LoLeSports.com. Viewers can also watch the event at a later date on BTN at 7 p.m. ET on Monday, April 25.
The BTN said League of Legends is “a fast-paced, team-oriented online game where two teams of five compete in intense 5v5 battles that require strategic thinking, lightning reflexes, and coordinated team-play. Over 67 million people play League of Legends each month, making LoL the most played PC video game in the world.”What others are clicking on:
