Where will the Ignition Series lead? We think Riot is watching the scene closely and perhaps have something big planned in the near future. Maybe the best teams from the Ignition Series are invited to compete over a larger prize pool worthy of our attention. Nothing is announced yet - but a person can hope that we get something big!
