A city the size of Singapore could be playing League of Legends as we speak

Riot Games recently announced that its free-2-play MOBA behemoth League of Legends has hit a major milestone of 5 million peak global concurrent players.

To put that into perspective, that would be like the entire population of a busy urban center such as Singapore logging in to play League of Legends. Closer to home, it would be equal to both Los Angeles and San Diego combined. It's astounding to think that a single video game could completely shut down two large American cities.

Clearly the Santa Monica, Calif. developer must be doing something right to boast such impressive numbers. Now all that waits is the updated 'Teemo deaths per minute' stat.
