\u201cThere are a number of pro players worthy of being inducted into our unique version of a Hall of Fame,\u201d Riot said in its annual State of the Game<\/a> update released earlier today. \u201cWe gathered an independent voting panel of esports industry veterans and experts from every region to vote and select our very first inductee.\u201d <\/p>

While there\u2019s no official word on who <\/em>will make their way into the Hall of Legends, we suspect that it will include some of the game\u2019s greatest players of all time<\/a> to start things off. There is also a possibility that personalities from around the scene, such as casters, coaches, and executives who dedicated their lives to professional League<\/em>, could make their way into the Hall of Legends.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cEach year, those inducted into the Hall of Legends will have their historic careers celebrated both IRL and in-game,\u201d Riot said. \u201cWe are currently collecting votes and will have more to share in the coming months, so stay tuned.\u201d <\/p>

It\u2019s unclear at this time how the voting process for the Hall of Legends will work this season, or when the first class of legends will be announced. Our guess is that more information and announcements will likely coincide with one of the season\u2019s international tournaments.

Later this year, Riot Games will be introducing its \u201cHall of Legends,\u201d which will serve as the equivalent of a pro League Hall of Fame. League esports has been well-established for over a decade, with 14 seasons of play under the scene\u2019s belt. And to commemorate those years, an inaugural class of \u201clegends\u201d will have their legacies emblazoned forever into the hall.\u00a0 \u201cThere are a number of pro players worthy of being inducted into our unique version of a Hall of Fame,\u201d Riot said in its annual State of the Game update released earlier today. \u201cWe gathered an independent voting panel of esports industry veterans and experts from every region to vote and select our very first inductee.\u201d\u00a0 While there\u2019s no official word on who will make their way into the Hall of Legends, we suspect that it will include some of the game\u2019s greatest players of all time to start things off. There is also a possibility that personalities from around the scene, such as casters, coaches, and executives who dedicated their lives to professional League, could make their way into the Hall of Legends.\u00a0 \u201cEach year, those inducted into the Hall of Legends will have their historic careers celebrated both IRL and in-game,\u201d Riot said. \u201cWe are currently collecting votes and will have more to share in the coming months, so stay tuned.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s unclear at this time how the voting process for the Hall of Legends will work this season, or when the first class of legends will be announced. Our guess is that more information and announcements will likely coincide with one of the season\u2019s international tournaments. This year\u2019s professional League season is set to begin on Jan. 13 with the LEC being the first domestic region to kick things off.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lol-summoners-cup.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083846"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1083846"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1083879,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083846\/revisions\/1083879"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/906027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1083846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1083846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1083846"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1083846"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1083846"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1083846"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1083846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
