Abstract

The rise of eSports (electronic games formed by teams) has revealed the emergence of a new segment, called Fantasy Games. In this proposition, online games have their scoring mechanics linked to other games played by teams, and thus, when selecting a virtual player, the game offers a direct connection with a real player. Among the eSports games, League of Legends has stood out internationally. Considering this scenario, this article presents the development of the League Fantasy platform, a Fantasy Game related to the League of Legends game, based on the methodology of game design by Rollings and Morris (2004).
