It’s not often international stars acknowledge the Australian League of Legends community, let alone visit our shores. This was not the case recently however with a visit from Team Solo Mid’s Brian “TheOddOne” Wyllie.







I myself was lucky enough to attend TheOddOne’s Sydney meet and greet at the Paragon Hotel in the heart of Sydney’s beautiful Circular Quay. The event was a huge success with hundreds of League fans turning out to have their gaming paraphernalia signed and their photos taken with the eSports icon. After his heroic entrance, signings and photo’s that went on for hours OddOne took the stage and continued into the late afternoon with trivia for lots of League of legends goodies and giveaways. The event wasn’t just good for the fans, but also highlighted the passion for eSports in the Australian community as a whole. The TSM chants and “General OddOne” screams could have been heard down Loftus street.









Whilst here in Australia TheOddOne stated he “Didn’t realize LoL was so big in Australia!” and he was surprised at our passion and enthusiasm for the growing title. The event’s atmosphere was exciting and left one thinking, how big could eSports get? Hopefully this can be answered within the next few years to come, with greater exposure on the Australian eSports scene and League of Legends in general, driven by the introduction of ESL Australia and their work with the game. The visit from TheOddOne only strengthened these hopes and was an epic event for fans and Australian eSport alike.



Many thanks go to TheOddOne for being such a champion, Lamill for being a fantastic sharer, AusProLeague for a great day in Sydney, and all the ESL Australia staff and fans for making these events amazing.
