	                       <title>V8 eSports LoL at IGN Pro League</title>
	                       <description><![CDATA[After a first round loss to Epik Gamers at IGN Pro League, V8 eSports League of Legends Team is looking toward the future with their next LAN at Intel Extreme Masters next weekend. A missed flight caused loads of trouble to the LoL squad. Running on less than 5 hours of sleep and having the first match of the day at 10:30 a.m., certainly did not help either. For most of the team, this was their first LAN event, and nerves may have played a big part in the first round loss to EG. Despite all the mishaps this weekend, V8 eSports looks to even the score next weekend at the Intel Extreme Masters event. <br />
<br />
Stay tuned for updates.]]></description>

	                       <title>The WoW of MOBAs?</title>
	                       <description><![CDATA[Since its release a mere two years ago League of Legends has experienced a meteoric rise to fame within not only the MOBA community but within the hearts of PC gamers everywhere.  With over 15 million accounts created and 1.5 million unique users playing every day Riot Games has clearly struck a chord with PvP fans everywhere.  Considering its ubiquitous hold over both the genre’s player base and competitors many have likened League of Legends with the most successful MMO to date, World of Warcraft.  <br />
Whether it is to laud or condemn them Riot’s vocal fans are quick to judge their multitude of trend-setting decisions which include but are not limited to: a player-powered banning system, bi-weekly champion releases, various e-sports offerings, oft radical balance changes, and most recently a new map and game mode.  Never has the time been better for League of Legends players to take to the Fields of Justice to exactly their deadly plans, however, does the game hold up the scrutiny of millions or is all the success just an enormous, hype-driven fluke?  It’s time to find out!<br />

	                       <title>Patch v1.0.0.126</title>
	                       <description><![CDATA[Today, League of Legends received another update, adding a brand new champion - Xerath, the Magus Ascendant. The patch included changes to Lee Sin, Miss Fortune, Morgana, Singed, and Taric. This patch also fixed the ignite bug where the visual effect would remain throughout the duration of the game.<br />
<br />
Xerath, the Magus Ascendant<br />
<br />
Ascended Form (Passive): Xerath feeds on arcane power, making him increasingly resilient to physical harm. He converts a percentage of his Ability Power into Armor.<br />
<br />
Arcanopulse: Fires a long-range beam of energy, dealing magic damage to all targets hit.<br />
<br />
Locus of Power: Xerath anchors himself to a source of magical power, increasing the range of all spells and granting him bonus % Magic Penetration. Although he is immobilized while Locus of Power is active, his movement speed increases upon disabling the ability.<br />
<br />
Mage Chains: Deals magic damage to an enemy and marks them with Unstable Magic. The next spell Xerath strikes this enemy with stuns them.<br />
<br />
Arcane Barrage (Ultimate): Calls down a blast of arcane energy, dealing magic damage to all enemies in an area. May be cast up to three times before going on cooldown.<br />
<br />
