Riot Games has released a teaser video titled Vel'Koz: First Contact, introducing the upcoming League of Legends champion.

League of Legends is constantly dueling with Valve's Dota 2 for the top spot in the multiplayer online battle arena genre, and Riot's continual development and involvement with the tournament scene made sure their game came out on top on many occasions.

Vel'Koz, whose friends call him "The Eye of the Void," is a rather nasty Matrix Sentinel-looking fellow that hails from the Void. The teaser video shows him stumbling upon an unfortunate soldier, whose identity redditors have already speculated about, stating that the clues point to Kassadin.

The best place to find out more about the new champion is SurrenderAt20, where several public beta environment updates have revealed his abilities, along with an extensive lore page, screenshots of his first purchasable skin and special interactions with a couple of existing champions.
