League of Legends Online Championship set to begin

DraftKings is continuing their Championship Series by kicking off their Fantasy League of Legends Online Championship on Saturday morning. You can directly buy into the championship for $555 or you can compete in one of a host of satellite tournaments this weekend. The DraftKings Championship Series is a year-long event that has a $100 million prize pool.

The LoL satellite round runs until the Championship contest, which is tentatively scheduled for late May or early June. The Championship will pay out $400,000 in cash prizes plus one ticket to the Tournament of Champions.

DraftKings will have satellites running on a combined LPL/LCK set that locks 2am Saturday and will also have them on a combined LEC (Europe)/LCS (US) set locking 11a Saturday — Same contest set up applies for Sunday as well with 2 a.m. and 11 a.m. locks). You can head over to DraftKings’ LoL lobby to join contests.
