LOL has been around since 2009.

League of Legends players and fans can now qualify for a scholarship to go to college! That’s right you can play League of Legends on a varsity team in college. Robert Morris University in Chicago Illinois has let everyone know that they want the best for their school.

According to Riot Games, RMU will be the first of a long line of universities to offer a scholarship for a competitive team at a varsity level. It will give up to 50% for tuition, and housing. This will set the precedent for eSports teams, nationwide.

RMU is in the process of recruiting its team to join the Collegiate Star League (CSL) in the fall quarter, beginning in September. The CSL consists of teams from 103 educational institutions, including Arizona State, George Washington, and Harvard. Although RMU is the only one currently offering scholarships for competition, Robert Morris University's team consists of one varsity team and two practice teams.

LOL are really easy to play. But it requires quite a lot of skills to master.

What hasn’t yet been made clear to hopeful students of said scholarship is the process they will have to go through to qualify. Whether they will have to play in a tournament style competition, or write an essay is still unknown.

This also could possibly cause a lot of negative feedback from other athletic affiliations throughout the US, as League of Legends isn’t a physical sport, and can make the professional circuit flooded due to its large demographic that is ever increasing with the games popularity.

It’s safe to assume that the GPA requirements to continue to stay on scholarship will be very strict, as the game can help to foster addictive traits in the consumer. League of Legends has been racking up the numbers as of late.

Also we have yet to hear if all of the Ivy league schools will enter the arena for an eSports team.
