We aim to have a better international coverage in S3, I promise. 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 think LoL deserves its own sub forum like Dota ! There is just so many things going on to post under LoL General.
Dota 2 is great game, no doubt about it. but unfortunately it's still in beta and I don't think theres much exciting things going on. international was one of the craziest tournament so far tho. DENDIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I actually like how the LoL subforum is run but maybe it's just because I'm so used to it. We do try to keep all champion discussion to their "guide" threads and there are a few newcomer threads here and there. Otherwise everything else can fit into GD, but it never gets too crazy since we separate it by patch. The main advantage the Dota 2 section has over us is the ease for finding tournament or strategy threads in their own subforum but I think we're working on something to help with that. Coming Soon (tm)

To be honest, I think the LoL subforum benefited from some of the bad posters migrating to the DotA 2 forum (Neo knows who I'm talking about). I wouldn't want our LoL forum to get too big and have those kinds of posters come back.

The forum population arguably gets bigger with every major tourney and LR thread, though I can honestly say it's real good that there's still a visible minority of 100-200 recognizable posters to...(I don't want to say 'drown out' but I can't think of a better way to say it) the newbies and lurkers. Not that we don't welcome them or anything, but I think the subforum personalities are a good thing for us.

Can you recognize me?
On topic: yes, LoL is huge in korea, and as long as a long-term plan is in place, it will only get bigger.

Just an observation.
Hahaha, seriously? That's awesome.
I remember reading some awesome post way back by some dude (Smashgizmo maybe LOL sorry) I can't remember. Anyways to summarize it said the cool thing about LoL esports is that it has a certain kind of longevity that games like Brood War/SC2/WC3 can't have. Every two weeks LoL becomes almost a new game (okay bit of an exaggeration) but he compared it to Magic the gathering, where new content is constantly flooding in and keeping the game fresh.

I didn't even play BW, but I can see the insane awesomeness that it once was, and I wish I had the chance to really get into it.
GG SC2?
No one sensible in this subforum would predict or even hope that SC2 would falter. For now, the movement of 3 ex-SC2 players from a defunct team indicates nothing about how HotS will pan out.
What the cold, hard truth is, is that Blizzard needs to pick things up. Not even from an eSports perspective (what is very important to most of us at TL) but the basics like interface, networking, and reliability.
I'm sure they will.
Look at WCS Europe and their recent attitude on their forums.
The times at Blizz for SC2 are changing.
I hope it gets better. As it is now, I'm a little burnt out on SC2 and taking a small break to learn LoL (it is my thesis game after all).
Jungle Warwick with tanky build is pretty broken at low level if the team communicates. Or should I say team communication is broken at low level XD

Blizzard is slowly doing some things but there might be some setbacks with the departure of their esports boss. I'm sure the WCS World Finals was being prepared even before he left but now we have to wonder how things will go after that.

I think Carmac is the name you're looking for there.

Anything tanky is OP at low levels, because beginners all build glass cannon for some reason.

huehue, and guess where that boss went to... yeah, the one that made WCS a success for Blizzard.
locodoco called it back in September 2011. locodoco is a prophet.
Prediction at 3:40 if you don't wanna watch all of it. I followed locodoco's teachings like a good fanboy though, so it doesn't surprise me that LoL is huge in Korea.

I wouldn't have banned. But you invoked BW, so Wax had to step in. You said "shit", which depending on context, could have been very negative. In this case, I knew what you meant. Just type more clearly next time.

npnpnp
Of course YOU wouldn't have banned
And ye, next time, don't word it so you can interpret it as "lol is shit", haha. That ban honestly confused me, until I saw the other way to read that sentence.
