2nd post

For most of my classmates, this won't interest you very much...or at all. But I still think this blog holds some value, because League of Legends is the most popular online game in the world. There are ~50 million active monthly players and over 100 million accounts. So basically, one in a thousand people play this game. I stated before that my goal was to become a pro in this game. The world championship for League of Legends, in which pros from all around the world compete, started on September 15, and the first game had over 1 million people worldwide watching it. So basically, this game is pretty popular. You wouldn't be in a small minority if you decided to start playing.

Back to my goal with this blog. I said I would document myself playing and improving on a new account, but it's taking too long to progress, so I'm going to play with my original account. Currently, I'm Platinum 1 with 30-something points. The ranking system goes (from lowest to highest)
Bronze V-Bronze I
Silver V-Silver 1
Gold....
Platinum..
Diamond..
Challenger, with only one challenger tier.
Here is a recent chart that shows the player distribution in North America.

Player Distribution Chart:

Once I rank up (by getting to 100 points, then winning 3/5 placement matches), I will be put in Diamond 5. I'll play a couple games a day and provide stats and info from the game and whether or not is was a win or loss. Hopefully over hundreds of games, I will find common trends in wins or losses so I'll know what aspects are most important to improve on. My end goal is that microscopic bar that indicates Challenger.
