Really hoping TL officially picks up LoL at some point, the main reason for me would be just to make it soooo much easier to find and watch streams of pro LoL tournaments. Right now only the biggest tournaments (MLG, IPL, IEM) get posted in their main "ON AIR" stream list. Aside from that, I have to dig quite a bit at times to find links to "smaller" live tournament streams.

Today I visited the LoL section of TL for the first time, and I have to say this was a really great read. Really gave me some insight into the LoL scene and community. I especially liked the part about how writing about LoL is so different from writing about SC2 and Dota2 because the basic foundations of strategy aren't there yet. I can also just imagine how bad LoL casters must be as most SC2 casters, with the wealth of knowledge about SC2 that exists, still manage to somehow remain ill-informed. I don't play LoL, but I'd like to learn more about the scene. Can someone recommend me similar pieces about the LoL scene or TL LoL in general?
Anyways, keep up the good work!

Moonbear linked to several other pieces of reviews, namely Breaking Down The World, that should give you a pretty good idea of the scene. Not that the whole scene is thinking at that level/aware of it (that's a complaint you could hear a lot, especially about the general population of LoL and about NA teams) but it's really well thought-out.

I want TL to pick up LoL because cheering for the TL dota 2 team is really fun and feels like you are cheering for the home team.Would be really nice to have one more TL team to cheer for.
Nice writeup buddybear
This. I want a TL team because they would be the pinnacle of proffessionalism, would show off a multi-region team that is probably based in korea, and would be just straight up amazing to watch as a TL fan. I think that would really go far to integrate the scenes.

As a lurker on TL who is just getting into LoL, because of OGN Winter 2012-2013, I am impressed with the quality of this article. I know Moonbear is a staff memeber of TL, but I always thought the best articles would be centered around SC and Dota. Simply because of the focus they get here on TL.
I really loved how your brought up the problems the LoL community has that may cause stagnation. You also do a great job giving advice on how to adjust and fix these problems. The only question I am left with is what seems to be the issue with the casters?
Coming from SC2 it seemed that for a professional tournament to be run at this point you always need an analytical caster and a play-by-play type. Does this not happen or are the analytical casters just that bad at their job. For reference I have only listened to Doa and MonteCristo during this season of OGN LoL.
I guess I'm bad at my job.
