Here are some additional considerations that are critical to the design of bandwidth/ networks to support successful tournament play for LoL: The LoL client requires significantly more bandwidth for patching. ● Make sure to patch all clients well ahead of time of the expected tournament, the patching can consume many megabits of bandwidth to patch. The LoL Client requires Internet/network connections that can handle very high UDP packet flow. ● For multiple computers sharing the same network/internet connection, make sure your connection can support hundreds of UDP packets per second per computer. ● High UDP packet flow can and routinely crush Firewalls and Small workgroup switches. This can compromise gameplay, cause lag and disconnects of the game. If you are supporting multiple computers playing LoL, please ensure that your switch and firewall can handle high UDP packet flow. ● DSL tends to no be able to be able to support high UDP traffic flow, do not use a DSL line for LoL tournament gameplay. The LoL client requires a lot of bandwidth up and down ● Symmetrical Internet connections are preferred since LoL gameplay uses bandwidth in both directions. © Samueli Foundation | North America Scholastic Esports Federation 13 Technical Details: Ports Certain ports need to be open for an optimum game experience. These ports are used to communicate to the client as well as other features and need to be open on the network in use: LIST OF PORTS TO FORWARD: ▪ 5000 - 5500 UDP (League of Legends Game Client) ▪ 8393 - 8400 TCP (Patcher and Maestro) ▪ 2099 TCP (PVP.Net) ▪ 5223 TCP (PVP.Net) ▪ 5222 TCP (PVP.Net) ▪ 80 TCP (HTTP Connections) ▪ 443 TCP (HTTPS Connections) ▪ 8088 UDP and TCP (Spectator Mode) Certain bandwidth /network setups help with client performance. Refer to the bandwidth requirement recommendations above in case you decide to use rate limits or other restrictions.

PRACTICING WORK, PERFECTING PLAY: LEAGUE OF LEGENDS AND THE SENTI- MENTAL EDUCATION OF E-SPORTS by NEAL HINNANT Under the Direction of Ted Friedman ABSTRACT A growing force in the culture of digital games fandom, e-sports represents the profes- sionalization of digital games play. This thesis examines League of Legends , a prominent game in e-sports, to understand the relationship between e-sports and the ideology of neoliberal eco- nomics. Using Clifford Geertz’s descriptions of sentimental education as a model, the author ar- gues that League of Legends and other e-sports texts create an environment where neoliberal economic values can be practiced and explored in a meaningful space. The game as text, the cul- ture of e-sports fandom, and the e-sports broadcasting industry are all examined to reveal the ways that e-sports fosters a space to both practice neoliberal values and potentially question them through the conflicting values of Web culture.

  • Game Narrative Review
    Game Narrative Review Name: Brenda Challender School: DigiPen Institute of Technology Email: [email protected] Month/Year Submitted: December 2013 Game Title: League of Legends Platform: PC Genre: Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) Release Date: October 27, 2009 Developer: Riot Games Publisher: Riot Games Design Director: Tom Cadwell Lead Designer: Christina Norman Overview The narrative in League of Legends is centered primarily around the interactions between various factions in the continent of Valoran, though individual Champions do have an impact on those interactions. This conflict is driven by the archetypal struggle between light and dark, embodied most prominently through two of Valoran's most powerful city-states, Demacia and Noxus, though other factions also play important roles. Warfare has been a part of Runeterra, the world in which the game takes place, since ancient times. These skirmishes – between city-states, as in present day, or warring tribes, as in the past – have always been augmented with the use of powerful magic. The use of magic in these battles, as discovered in recent centuries, has taken its toll on the land, altering the landscape, and causing phenomena such as violent, magically charged storms. Out of fear that another war would cause irreparable damage to Runeterra, some of Valoran's most powerful sorcerers created an organization, the 'League of Legends', to serve as a battle ground for settling disputes. Characters League of Legends currently boasts 117 unique Champions, each with their own allegiance and motivations, but since the overarching narrative of the game is focused on the conflicts between the world's factions, this section will cover the most influential groups, rather than specific individuals.

  • Game Narrative Review.Docx
    Game Narrative Review ==================== Your name: Mayla Qi Your school: Indiana University Bloomington Your email: [email protected] Month/Year you submitted this review: April 2021 ==================== Game Title: League of Legends Platform: PC Genre: Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) Release Date: October 2009 Developer: Riot Games Publisher: Riot Games; Garena Game Writer/Creative Director/Narrative Designer: Marc Merrill; Brandon Beck Overview League of Legends started with a story. A clear-cut tale of misty-cloaked Summoners who possessed the power to call upon one of many legendary champions to battle in their name. The origins and the tales of these champions were obscure and filled with mystery. Besides giving “Summoners” a satisfactory feel for the champions they could play, their stories remained in the background of the player experience and lingered neatly on the sidelines of what the original story had to offer. Back in 2009, League of Legends started with a story—but in the 12 years since its launch, it has exploded into a universe. A universe that boasts of furry, poison-darting gremlins, ancient resurrected gods, treacherous orange-devouring pirates and enslaved star-forgers so powerful that they hold universes within the palms of their hands. League of Legends has long departed from its initial focus on the Summoner. Champions are no longer simply “Legends”, mythical beings of greatness that we do not truly understand—they now stand as living, breathing characters whose identities and backgrounds are now within the players’ reach. This type of storytelling—where the book never closes on any one chapter, where there is a constantly growing universe of character-driven stories—is unique.

  • Voice in Virtual Worlds: the Design, Use and Influence of Voice Chat in Online Play
    Voice in virtual worlds: The design, use and influence of voice chat in online play Running Head: Voice in virtual worlds ABSTRACT Communication is a critical aspect of any collaborative system. In online multiplayer games and virtual worlds it is especially complex. Users are present over long periods and require both synchronous and asynchronous communication, but may prefer to be pseudonymous or engage in identity-play while simultaneously managing virtual and physical use contexts. Initially the only medium offered for player-to-player communication in virtual worlds was text, a medium well-suited to identity-play and asynchronous communication; less so to fast-paced coordination and sociability among friends. During the past decade vendors have introduced facilities for gamers to communicate by voice. Yet little research has been conducted to help us understand its influence on the experience of virtual space: where, when and for whom voice is beneficial, and how it might be configured. To address this gap we conducted empirical research across a range of online gaming environments. We analyzed our observations in the light of theory from human-computer interaction (HCI), computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and computer- mediated communication (CMC). We conclude that voice radically transforms the experience of online gaming, making virtual spaces more intensely social but turning them into maelstroms of impression management, identity play, and ambiguity over what is being transmitted to whom.

  • The Rising Esports Industry and the Need for Regulation
    TIME TO BE GROWN-UPS ABOUT VIDEO GAMING: THE RISING ESPORTS INDUSTRY AND THE NEED FOR REGULATION Katherine E. Hollist* Ten years ago, eSports were an eccentric pastime primarily enjoyed in South Korea. However, in the past several years, eSports have seen meteoric growth in dozens of markets, attracting tens of millions of viewers each year in the United States, alone. Meanwhile, the players who make up the various teams that play eSports professionally enjoy few protections. The result is that many of these players— whose average ages are between 18 and 22—are experiencing health complications after practicing as much as 14 hours a day to retain their professional status. This Note will explore why traditional solutions, like existing labor laws, fail to address the problem, why unionizing is impracticable under the current model, and finally, suggest regulatory solutions to address the unique characteristics of the industry.
