LoL


Final round of the League of Legends world championship taking place in London, and a sponsor is Mercedes. Change creeps upon us all unnoticed, but two takeaways from this post:

(1)    Computer gaming is the world's most lucrative form of entertainment bar none.

(2)    The internal combustion engine is on it's way out.

The latter is a source of regret, and for my son vehicles with such engines are like how steam-powered traction engines were to me.

Ironic though that while auto-manufacturers are having to down-size drastically in the land of their birth, the very first in the shape of Mercedes ends up providing altogether different forms of driving seat.
