6 - Life in the League

League of Legends is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or MOBA game for short. It is a game similar to Defense of the Ancient 2 or most commonly known as DOTA 2 and Heroes of Newerth wherein two teams of 5 fight each other to destroy their opponent's base.

I've started playing this game since its first season (around the year 2010) and I was still in 7th grade that time and I'm still playing it till now (It's already season 5). Lol. I didn't really imagined myself playing this game until now since I'm not really fan of games such as DOTA 2 and Heroes of Newerth. I don't really know what made me continue to play this game, honestly.

Of course, playing from the 1st season until now, I've encountered a lot of ups and downs. My 1st big achievement would probably be reaching the max level (Level 30) during the first season. My 2nd big achievement would be when I was able to reach the Diamond Division during Season 3 until now. (This is the 3rd division out of 7 divisions in which the 1st division contains the top 200 players here in the Philippines). Since you make your way up to the 1st division, you can also go back down to the 7th division. I was able to experience dropping divisions due to my teammates and it was so depressing that it actually made me stop playing for like 2-3 days.

I've also met a lot of friends (Real life friends) by playing this game. There is one that I found out that we were schoolmates (High School times). Another is, my classmate then his cousin. We really had no idea that we were playing together and when we were able to found out that they know each other and told us that. We were stunned actually. We then became friends and we are still playing together until now. Another one is another classmate of mine and his cousin. We are actually 'more friends' or in Filipino they say "mas close" than my classmate (his cousin). Yes I know, it can be confusing. Haha.

League of Legends has made a big impact in my life. Meeting new friends and learning to have determination in life and made me more responsible in life. :D

PS: League is also known to be League of Legends or so they say.
