Dota is insanely popular everywhere.

I play in some random league... The time for the automatching of the website to find a game is at least as fast as the time it takes normal WC3 ladder to find a game for me... And that needs 10 players + a host....

Dota is seriously huge and is probably overshadowing WC3 by a huge margin nowadays.

DotA is INSANELY popular in south east asian countries. DotA killed popular games like CS 1.6, SC, and WC3 over there, which is why top DotA teams are usually Malaysian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, etc.

Wow, Sudden Attack over Special Force? Last time I checked, Special Force was the most popular FPS in Korea.

Probably becuz SA is free...? I dunno if Special Force is or not ^^ (And when you got G-Dragon, CL, Park Bom holding guns in SA oh yeah it's gonna be popular...)

Okay, that's what I got as response to my question how exactly it's measured:

The information I gather daily from http://www.gametrics.com/ which tracks many things. I focus of their tracking of games being played from various internet connections. If I remember correctly the established connection isn't fully counted until at least 15m-30m of connect time has been acheived with the product. The measurements are basically unique connections from homes, offices, and businesses (such as connections from restaurants and hotels) mixed with information gathered from Internet Cafes (The main gaming area for Korean gamers) of their client logs. They also factor the amount of time played by people into the equation to get a better understanding of how much a particular game is being played and by how many people to show it's presence in the market place. Hope this helps.

Bear "replicant" Powell

So basicly it measures uniqe connections which last at least 15 - 30 mins from homes, offices, businesses AND Internet Cafes. This site looks legit (but you never know), so overall it seems to be a reliabel source. Maybe a korean can "check" this site to see if it's biased or something?

Also I looked up some older reports and Aion is first place since the day it was released. With an huuuuge gap. Whooosh.

Well, I guess Starcraft ist still broadcasted the most since it's just an insane observer e-sport. But I'm still surprised to see that there are games in korea which are "more popular".

God Aion looks to be on the way of gold farming spam just like wow T_T. I wonder how NCsoft will deal with it...
