A former League of Legends championship e-sports team has launched a new fantasy sports site for League of Legends spectators. The idea from Vulcun is to make e-sports lucrative not just for the professional gamers but for the spectators as well.

The site enables players to form their own fantasy sports teams based on the top-ranked players of League of Legends, which is one of the most popular online games in the world. Vulcan has created a $250,000 prize pool for the 2015 League of Legends Pro LCS season. It says this is the largest prize pool ever for fantasy e-sports.
