There were already Kespa teams that had LoL teams for more than a year now.

This news is more or less formalizing Kespa's entry into LoL. Unofficially, they've already been involved for a long time.

Do you have a link to that information?


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=420047

Nothing really new other than a PL in Korea for LoL. There were already Kespa teams and OGN was doing champions so all that's really happening is that the BW hole is being taken over. Doesn't seem to change anything about Dota in Korea though since it's not like this wasn't coming or hasn't been coming.

actually i think this has quite a large effect on the future of professional dota in korea. pro teams (non kespa) in korea dont have enough knowledge/skill to simply just practice on their own and try and catch up to the rest of the world. im not saying its impossible, but kespa has shown multiple times that even with new games, their players can become the best. this is because they know what it takes to produce top gamers thanks to bw (not talking about simply practicing the game. the way kespa teams approach the game and manage their players are on a totally different level to other teams). im not sure other teams will be able to emulate what kespa teams are capable of doing. everyone says "if dota gets big in korea, korea will rival china", but honestly what everyone means is "if kespa gets into dota, korea will rival china". at least thats my opinion


I'm not really into LoL, so correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge Korea is really good in LoL.
So since the news is them & Kespa joining, doesnt that mean that they managed to become good without being depending on Kespa?

Not to mention that even in SC2, if we look at code S, it is an equal split between Kespa and ESF. That means that kespa is not at all the reason korea is dominating the SC2 scene. I think korea will rival china in dota2 if it gets big in korea, completely independent of kespa, and entirely because of the culture there.

In regard to Korea situation right now, according to a friend of mine, Kespa is a child of Korean congress. That means that when Riot do any deal with Kespa, which they just did for the PL thing, its more likely to convince Riot to poor money into Korea than anything. Right now the deal is so that Riot gona hold a global event in Korea(LCS) in 2014? Not only that will benefits Kespa and Korean esports, its also a kick into tourism and bring a lot of money into Korea in general. It could create quite a political power for who ever pull such deal off so its a win win for all parties involved. It is, however, not so great for sc2 and DotA since the market will be more focused on LoL together with the shift in sponsorship.
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB

honestly, the effect on DotA will be minimal. Because you know. DotA isn't really played by Koreans.

If you count dota 1, its unofficially the most played game of all time.

In my mind it was Kanye West starting this sentence off with "Imma let you finish but..."


Also Dota has the more competitive design while LoL tries to attract the japanophile demographic with anime style female hero. God plays Dota, that's all you need to know. All good christian's should follow his example. All people of other religions should convert to christianity and then play dota.
Riot cooperate with the NSA for the PRISM program.

So I heard that Yango only plays LoL but posts only in DotA section. Is he a Riot employee sent to convert us to the superiormoba religion?
