We'd all have to log into PvP.net obviously since there is no LAN client.

Well that would explain how LoL became so popular. Being a free game (ok i spent like 200$ for skins), having friends play it, a big tournament like S2 finals breaking records, and on top of that the service pc bangs provide there, I'm really excited to see how big it can actualy become. | ||

Korea LoL also has a slightly different model when compared to the western servers. There's some sort of promo if you play in PC bangs that can help you get skins easier or something iirc. edit: On October 18 2012 05:10 Frolossus wrote: i know logging in from a pc bang gets you a level 30 account with all champs dunno about skins and rp though Right, that's what it was. I knew it was easier for them to get access to something but forgot whether it was champ or skin unlocks. | ||

Maybe get alil into dota2 vs LoL in terms of spectator-ship and competitiveness. DotA not that big in Korea historically, much bigger in China. LoL was in the right place at the right time to become the next big thing in Korea, with the big void in E-sports left by the fall of BW, that SC2 was simply inadequate to fill. At the relevant time, DotA 2 wasn't (and still isn't) close enough to being a finished product. It also wasn't marketed that much/at all in Korea to my knowledge. | ||

Startale recently just formed 2 teams. Team red and team blue, just like azubu blaze and azubu frost. so 10 people under the same roof. | ||

I wonder why teamliquid doesnt provide content for LoL the same way as they do for dota2. I bet there are a lot of people here who would help creating the content. neo whats up wioth that? LoL getting picked up by tl some time in the future? | ||

Our staff is composed of 5 users. We're working on getting our Worlds Review out by this weekend. And there's no talk about LoL getting picked up by TL any time soon. The Reds prefer DotA2 over LoL and they slowly getting into gear with official coverage of DotA2. | ||

The Reds prefer DotA2 over LoL and they slowly getting into gear with official coverage of DotA2. i was going to say i think the people that run tl prefer dota2, but as the koreans in the first few posts of this thread mentioned, once you actually try LoL you realize there is a good game there. good to have you guys also. there is a reason LoL has become the dominant force in pc games. everytime im like eh i think i might be done playing lol they get me back with some insanely smart decision. like i love jungling, but the way junglers currently work doesnt appeal to me. lo and behold i see they are remaking the jungle again for season 3 and adding new items for junglers. aight, im back. the constant balance tweaks also are very welcome. i mean blizzards glacially slow patch process is mind-boggling. tl will eventually have a more dedicated LoL news and review section, i have no doubt of that. i bet that we wont have to scramble to get the season 3 championships stream added to the list on the right. and the way the season 3 regular season is going to play out is seriously AWESOME. i cant wait. we think LoL is big now, i think it is just beginning. | ||

TheYango was brought on specially for his insight on the Chinese scene. Chexx and Vlani help out a ton with their consistent new postings about the Korean scene. If there's anything we, as a subforum, can improve upon, it's to move away from the NA centric view of LoL. | ||

I'm the only one on LoL staff that has access and I'm a tad slow in remember to update the calendar. :3 I'll get better at it! | ||
