Riot Games books the home of the Lakers for League of Legends finals

The National Hockey League finals, the National Basketball Association finals, and the League of Legends finals all have at least one thing in common: the 19,000-seat Los Angeles Staples Center.

Developer Riot Games revealed today that it will hold the League of Legends 2013 World Championships in the L.A. arena on Oct. 4. Last year’s finals sold out all 10,000 seats at the University of Southern California’s Galen Center. It’s very likely that the dedicated League of Legends fans will also scoop up all the tickets for this much larger venue.
