Game Fnatic: See what it takes to be a 'League of Legends' pro
The first five episodes follow four players as they compete for a single spot on Fnatic's 'League of Legends' squad.
It's on. The Engadget video series Game Fnatic follows four amateur and semi-pro League of Legends players as they attempt to win a spot on Fnatic, one of the world's most successful and famous teams. The first five episodes are live right now, right here. Even if you're unfamiliar with League of Legends, the debut episodes break down the basics and introduce the four competitors, each of whom brings a unique skill -- and personality -- to the series.
Game Fnatic is a behind-the-scenes look at Fnatic's League of Legends philosophy and what its star players look for in a teammate. The competitors not only have to learn how to train like a pro, which includes physical activity and hours upon hours of game time, but they have to prove they can play well with Fnatic's superstar lineup, which features Martin "Rekkles" Larsson, Fabian "Febiven" Diepstraten and Bora "YellOwStaR" Kim, all of whom have competed at the League of Legends World Championships. The 2016 Worlds tournament is live through October 29th, so now is a great time to get a closer look at what it takes to be a professional League of Legends player.
Game Fnatic is a 10-part series, so once you're done devouring the first five episodes, keep an eye out for the second half in the coming weeks. You know where to find us.
