So, League is basically Twisted Metal

In Twisted Metal, (at least the one that I played as a kid), the characters played the game because the gamekeeper had something to offer. I've noticed while skimming lore that a lot of the champions play in the league to get something from the league. Kayle , Morgana , and Ahri are all examples from my super quick research, and I'm sure they're more. This isn't some huge revelation, and it's not very game-changing, but it's a cool shower thought. I mean, how else do you get so many seemingly random people to fight to the death, rather than offer them something that has consumed their life?
