Developer Riot Games says that the third full season for the League of Legends Championship Series will start on February 7 and will be split into two halves, both taking part during 2013.

The first section of the Championship Series will end on April 20 and the second one will take place between June 1 and August 31.

Fans of League of Legends will be able to see eight American and eight European teams battle for the much coveted title of World Champion and the monetary rewards that come with it.

Riot Games has not offered a clear figure for the total prize value, but it will apparently run in the millions of dollars.

League of Legends is one of the most successful Multiplayer Online Battle Arena titles of the moment.
