Hello guys!

OMG, I cannot believe that I can remember all of my password to log on Teamliquid again.

Today, while watching Korean LoL, I thought "my gosh, I dont know who is who. I need teamliquidddd". Then, I just saw DotA 2 on menu bar (/sad) ;(

I have one question: "Why doesn't TL do LoL? It's quite big in Korea now"

For BroodWar, I have learnt a lot from TL and I hope TL would do the same for LoL.

What do you mean by "casual"? I think LoL is great and lots of fun. We can be very creative with all the champions we play :-?

There was a thread explaining this and discussion about it here if you want to read: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=364640
Basically, DotA has a long estabilished scene, LoL doesn't. Also, shortage of LoL staff members on TL IIRC.
We still do have a small LoL community, but mostly EUW+NA, not really in SEA/Korea/China.

The ones who run TL choose Dota because they prefer it over LoL.

I think it's also just one of those things that caught fire while others did not. Lots of little factors that snowball and boom: Dota2 > LoL on teamliquid. Why did McDonald's beat Wendys? Just the luck of the draw, timing, etc etc etc. But the points made above make perfect sense too.

I play LoL myself but the first of the genre I watched was Dota2. Why? Tobiwan Kenobi (caster). Some big tourney was going on and this guy blew me away with his casting. I was just curious to see what all the fuss was about and he got me to stick around for a weekend. So, ins like that. Who knows how many people got hooked by him and others.

As for it being too casual, they could be joking or haven't played it much (or at all) and just say it for whatever reason they've chosen. I've played about... 400 games, mostly support and every once in a while, I get the shit pummelled out of me by the other bot lane. And then I think, if this is casual, then what the hell is going on in dota2?? This guy just flattened me and it's not even ranked!!!

well TL also has now invested into dota (i.e. has a team) so at some point the upper management decided to invest in dota rather than LoL for business or personal reasons.

before TL got investments into it I just thought some staff/writers personally liked dota 2 more, and if tl is going to have a game officially "covered" they need to have a dedicated and competent writing staff, liquipedia editors, someone to put events on the calendar, etc etc. All that is really done through volunteers and TL needs to see evidence of people who are going to commit to permanent proper coverage; no knock on LoL forums of TL but some veteran TLers were/are quite active in these things for dota 2 and that certainly helped elevate TL's opinion of dota2 coverage I imagine

Creative?

No, you can be way more creative with the heroes you pick in DotA. WAY more.

Let's not turn this into another LoL vs DotA 2 bash guys

Pretty much what the rest of the people said: DotA having a more established competitive scene, and probably the fact that most veteral TL staff/writers being into it more than LoL (they can't start covering a new scene without being sure they have people who'll be dedicated to it).

Who knows, we might get a LoL expansion in the future, that'd be pretty cool as well ^^

Until that happens, the LoL sub-forum is pretty active (almost as much as the DotA 2 one so far), so don't let that turn you off or anything

It's so sad that I cannot find anywhere to update Korean LoL. That's why I think of LoL =( Hope to see LoL to be an individual section on TL.

I don't like DotA 2 but I think it's a good game, too. I just don't play it so please don't hate me, please :D

Anyway, stop rating my blog 1 star. What the heck happened? Stop being so mean to a girl!

We have the LoL subforum and you're welcome to talk with us there.

A few people have been writing recaps for the OGN Champions (just 1 so far but hopefully a second one will come out soon).
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=384571

Here is the LR thread for the games themselves, but it's not particularly active since not too many people watch the games live. The first playoff match starts tonight so you can see if you can catch the games on an OGN stream.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=378578

An equivalent to Liquipedia was created for LoL so you can always look there if you want to find out more. Info on Korean LoL is a bit hard to come by though since not too many active contributors speak Korean.

if it was LOL2 maybe. But DOTA 2 and SC2 just works better.

TL has a 1 star bandit. He ninjas everyones blogs and rates them 1 star.

Also there is quite much hate between SC2 and LOL,
and i personally think like many on TL that LOL is the most f****** awfull game in the world,

i think that´s the main reason why you won´t find coverage any time soon.

As I said, it depends on personal taste so it's quite stupid to compare LoL vs SC2 or LolL vs DotA 2. The game is good itself, just the fans who make it look bad! :D
