This opportunity is hosted for us through Guild Launch and holds quite a diverse selection in their respective categories.

For now, let us focus on one nominee.
The Most Passionate Fan Base
Riot Games (the creators of League of Legends) continually gives its fans more and more. Their creation has made its way through the competition and landed in this years awards, and for great reason. With well over one million fans logged in to this free-to-play MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) styled game, Riot has to be doing something right!
Their first way of bringing together the 
community of gamers is through the Summoner Showcase. This series goes over many talents from the players of the League of Legends community–from artwork, to cosplays, and more!
Another process is given to the community through live streaming. Well known players are featured on their main website and this option gives the fans an option to watch their favorite players and learn from them as they go head to head against one another. With a live chat provided for fans to communicate with each other, this gives them more reason to play together and discuss strategies to further themselves.
How Is The Interaction In-Game?
League of Legends features a matchmaking system that gathers everyone into a pool, and disperses them into evenly matched teams for head to head battles. This system consists of three game modes in PvP, two game modes in Co-op vs. AI, and two in Custom.
After joining the queue of players, you’re grouped together with others to choose your lanes and champions. This phase gives you some communication on what to do, however while in-game, it rises to a whole other level. Strategic plans are put into action as players fight together. And in this MOBA game, communication with each other is key to success.
With lots of competitive spirit and endless banter in-game, as well as out, it causes fans to strive for more. Fast-paced action and dedicated players is what Riot Games has created, and with a forever free-to-play game, everyone will be coming back for more!
So get on over to the Dragon Slayer Awards, and vote for League of Legends. This process will continue til September 2nd, so spread the word for your favorite game to win!
