Interviews with members of Season 1 SLG teams
We here at Blog of Legends were fortunate enough to get some great interviews with many players on the various teams in Super League Gaming’s Season 1 City Champs tournament.
It’s not easy to play League of Legends at a competitive level. It takes a ton of time, effort, and of course, lots of practice to be ready for anything in the Fields of Justice. Such is the case for all the teams in Super League Gaming‘s Season 1 City Champs tournament that just transpired in early December.

Even though the Chicago Force won the tournament, all the players in each team truly were competitive and offered some great gaming moments. I was lucky enough to get to interview several players from each team to get their insight on the tournament, what advice they would give to fellow Summoners and of course, their favorite moments from the City Champs tournament.
