Carly Twaddle, Mettlestate’s project manager, had this to say about the local League of Legends scene and the Challengers Series: “If you invest in a community over an extended period of time, and if you pay attention to what they need, the scene will grow. That’s exactly what Mettlestate is doing with the League of Legends community. Our team has been working hard with members of the League community to bring them what they need. There are endless opportunities, it just takes the right people to seize and nurture them.”

Good luck to all the teams entering the League of Legends Challenger Series Season 2!
