League of Legends, a game developed by Riot Games, is a tower defense type game. It is 5v5, with each team of 5 starting at the opposite end of the map. The objective is to get into the other teams base and destroy their nexus. Above is an image of a professional cosplayer who is dressed up as Ezreal, one of the characters or "Champions" from the game. Cosplay has become huge in both the video game industry as well as the movie and anime industries. At the bottom of this post is a picture of the actual character from the game. While the above person is a professional, there are many people who make their own costumes or buy them online from websites dedicated to cosplay costumes. I dressed up as a main character from one of my favorite anime shows one year for Halloween. The materials that non-professional cosplayers use varies, but they are extremely creative. Some people have spent hours and hours on one costume alone. Some have made weapons that exist only in video games in real life. It has been great to see what people are capable of when they let their imagination fly.
