Riot Games has today released its new strategy title League of Legends.

Inspired by the hugely popular DOTA, the game is now available for purchase via www.leagueoflegends.com in North America and a collector's pack is also available with a whole host of extras including  20 Champions, a selection of Runes and $10 USD worth of Riot Points. 

With the launch of the game, the pre-tournament season is now underway allowing players to get to grips with the game before the real tournaments start early next year.

"I am excited to welcome all gamers to join us in League of Legends, which builds on the fast-paced, team based, player vs. player gameplay pioneered in DotA-Allstars, one of the most popular mods of all time," said Brandon Beck, co-founder and CEO, Riot Games.

"The launch of the League of Legends Pre-Season marks the beginning to providing our dedicated community epic competitive online gameplay and exciting new content for years to come." 

The game is being published by GOA here in Europe and an open beta is now underway which you can sign up for here.
