"Player of Games" by Iain M. Banks is about a society that revolves around an extremely complex board game. The protagonist is known within his separate super-society for being a very advanced board game player, he goes to play the complex game. It's a pretty fun adventure.

Go read Iain M. Banks's Culture series. I'd recommend you skip Consider Phlebas at first as it lacks momentum and start with The Player of Games or Use of Weapons.

Sounds a lot like "Player of Games" by Ian Banks.

That said, the average LoL tournament watcher wouldn't care so why not pander to them.
