Hopefully we will be able to watch the broadcasts on YouTube.

Does anyone know what KeSPA's involvement in all this will be?

WOW! It was known for a while there was going to be a Korean event and CLG would be travelling there but this news mean Korea is taking LoL seriously. Can't wait for them to show the rest of the world their skills.

Hue. Just as I predicted. :3

Riot's picked up a lot of big names. Big hopes for them.

Iirc, Loco said Progamer Licenses are dependent on KeSPA and he wanted to win WCG qualifier to get KeSPA license. So likely they'll be managing development in the LoL Scene, especially since they're tied in with a lot of what OGN does.
It's like, "Is the Federation's Mobile Suit some kind of monster?"

Is it top 5? I was talking to Zileas over dinner yesterday and he said that LoL was 6; it's really hard to break into the top 5 most popular/most played game list. :O

Either way, it's just one ranking difference but seeing LoL catching on in the birth country of international ESPORT is a good sign.

Would it be evil of me to hope that LoL gets well rooted in Korea before DotA2 goes live?

I'm really excited about this too, and I can't wait to see what the pro scene will be like when this explosion settles down.

I really wasn't expecting such a representation in PC Bangs, grats Riot, and keep it rolling!

Does this mean we'll be getting restreamers on TL to watch Korean LoL just like BW?

Thank god the big Asian teams are goign to get a big scene going so they can dominate the American teams that practice on the scale of single digit hours per WEEK. Give them a kick in the rear so they stop being the lowest skilled pros of any esport around

Unfortunately it doesn't matter how much you practice. LoL is cerebral, not mechanical. You either understand how to lane, gank, build a team, and fight, or you dont. There is mechanical skill involved, yes, but it isnt the same as say BW. Understanding and experience is much more important, especially when it comes to making damage trades in game, its what separates 2k+ players from 1800 ones.

And Lol pros play FAR more than single digit hours per week. As much as everyone not involved in lol wants to bash on solo q, it is a very good way to practice and keep individual skill up. You get to see a wide variety of champions and builds, test new things out, and maintain situational awareness. Scrims are good practice in terms of team communication and we are seeing a lot more scrims nowadays, but are they that much more efficient than 2 members of a team duo qing? I dont tend to think so.

And as much as everyone gets butthurt about it, the NA and EU servers will be miles ahead of the other servers for quite some time simply because of the back-loaded experience and sheer amount of time top pros spend in solo q messing around with stuff.


But there's also the whole team dynamic thing which individual games don't have. A team that practices together a ton will easily beat an unpracticed team of much higher individual skill.
