Enjoyed by millions of players around the world, League of Legends is a dynamic game that has grown over the years to take center stage in esports. Even though the multiplayer online battle arena game has been around for a decade, mastering it takes an ongoing investment of time, skill-building, and developing an impressive knowledge of the game. It is ever evolving, with Riot Games releasing new patches or updates to League that changes the strengths and weaknesses of champions every two weeks. With over 140 champions for players to choose from and a combination of 10 champions battling it out throughout a match, the strategies for victory are endless.

There’s no shortage of data in League of Legends, including champion selection, win rates, builds, and historical team drafting strategies. The ultimate challenge is how to leverage the data to find the competitive edge. Cloud9 collaborated with Microsoft to develop solutions that allow coaches and players to train, draft, recruit, and play at championship level.
