USC Aiken’s League of Legends team continues their flawless season
League of Legends (MOBA) is a multiplayer online battle arena game developed by Riot Games that was initially released in 2009. The game puts five players against five other players on a map that includes three lanes and a section between the lanes referred to as a jungle. The lanes consist of multiple structures known as turrets that must be destroyed in at least one lane in order to achieve victory by destroying the opposing team’s Nexus. Each player controls a character known as a champion, with each having unique stats and special abilities.

USC Aiken ran a team of Tryndamere, Trundle, Ahri, Zeri and Yuumi into HSU’s Ornn, Hecarim, Lissandra, Caitlyn and Lux.
