League of Legends is getting an official college league tournament, called the University League of Legends (uLoL) Rivalries, thanks to a partnership between Yahoo and Riot Games. The five week event begins on November 5th, and viewers will vote on which teams they want to see face off.

"This partnership is a result of our focus on bringing premium coverage to the most diehard sources of fandom in all of sports: college rivalries," writes Yahoo. "University League of Legends is a network of student-run clubs created to support and empower League of Legends communities on college campuses across the U.S. and Canada. Riot’s uLoL team focuses on growing an ecosystem for passionate college players to celebrate and compete with each other. The uLoL Rivalries series will enable players and fans to engage with unique League coverage, media personalities and advertising sponsors, both online and in-person on campus."

League of Legends recently made headlines for its 10 year anniversary and an impressive statistic: an estimated 100 million players play League each month. League of Legends is the titan of the industry, and shows no signs of slowing down.

Where will the competitive scene be in the next 10 years?
