League of Legends here, League of Legends there, League of Legends everywhere. LoL may be over a decade old, but it’s one of the most popular games—and esports—around, so we’re used to its presence in all sorts of places. The BLAST Paris CS:GO Major can’t escape LoL’s clutches either, as Riot’s MOBA made its way into Accor Arena in the French capital in the middle of a tense game.
CS:GO is no slouch when it comes to esports. Ask any CS:GO fan and they’d tell you how much better professional Counter-Strike is to watch than any other esport. It has guns, it’s easy to follow, it has arguably the best casting in the industry, and it also has guns. Now imagine experiencing all this live in Paris of all places, at a Major, the biggest CS:GO stage there is… and watching LoL instead.
