Dude, me and countless others have been following esports for over a decade and don't give a shit about LoL or what game they want to play in Korea. To me, CS is the best esport and they play a joke version of it in Korea. Doesn't make it any less legitimate. This is like saying that soccer is the flagship 'real' sport because its played by the most people in the most countries. Who cares? To me and many others, soccer is terrible. This isn't a competition between games. You sound like a 13 year old. For real though, just as many people dislike LoL as there are those who enjoy it. I can't even watch it for more than 15 seconds before turning it off because it is so unappealing and unexciting. Good on TL for expanding into new games though. Everybody deserves a chance to play and support the game they choose. Quit whining. Edit: Also, wouldn't you think the most popular game would also be the game played by the most casuals? Its ok that LoL is a casual game with a healthy pro scene - every game is played casually by many people. LoL just has the most of em because its free and easy to get into which translates into a stronger business which is what Riot is: a business. Huh? Facts =/= elitism. LoL is the biggest and most recognized e-sport inside AND outside the gaming world. If you're too blind due to fanboyism to see that, then that's your problem. And yes...? Soccer was in many ways a flagship sport and, indeed, for a massive part of the world it still is today. And at no point did I suggest that LoL is the only ''real'' e-sport. A question, what is your definition of a ''flagship'' e-sport game? What gives a game that title? Apparenly it's not having the most popularity or recognition, nor worldwide tournament infrastructure. I never said this was a competition between games? You keep putting words into my mouth.Then you go on a rant about how you can't enjoy watching soccer or LoL? OK. I don't see how that in any shape or form related to what I posted, but thanks for sharing. Also, I didn't say anywhere that TL doesn't have the right to play or support the game. Of course they do. It seems like you COMPLETELY missed the point of my whole post. I suggest you re-read my post. It has very little to do with ''what game is best'' or ''what game is the most fun to watch'', but more to do with TLs past negative attitude towards LoL and the near 180 change that took place. Edit: Also, wouldn't you think the most popular game would also be the game played by the most casuals? Its ok that LoL is a casual game with a healthy pro scene - every game is played casually by many people. LoL just has the most of em because its free and easy to get into which translates into a stronger business which is what Riot is: a business. What? Again, I think you missed the point of that last line. I was referring to the old way of thinking (used to be very common here on TL a few years back) that LoL is a casual game that takes no skill, which is why it's popular. LoL has been referred to as a ''game for casuals'' for years now, by the SC / Dota community especially. It has to do with the envy part I mentioned in my post. Naturally one would expect the most popular game to have the most amount of casuals, simply due to the volume of gamers. That should be obvious. | ||

Call it whatever you want, but if you honestly think that the SC2 / Dota 2 community wasn't upset over the fact that LoL turned out to be way more successful as a game and as an e-sport, then you're delusional. | ||
