So my guess would be that if they had servers as large as EUW or NA, they should have 2 or 3 of them, not 16. So with 16 servers there must be something else going on there other then just the larger population. Maybe Riot is just trying to go towards smaller servers in general. | ||

Maybe 2-3 times that of the EUW area, i don't know exactly which countries that servers area consist of. But China definitively does not have 16 times as many people. And i think they have a larger percentage of people in poor rural areas, though i don't have any statistics to back that up and might be completely wrong here.

Before I go to bed, just some wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Europe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China So, nearly twice as many people in China as in all of Europe. | ||

Ok, i'll take the time and look it up. All data from Wikipedia and roughly rounded. EUW Country list: France 65m Switzerland 8m Belgium 11m Liechtenstein 30k Luxembourg 0.5m Netherlands 17m Germany 81m Austria 8.4m Italy 60m Vatican 836 San Marino 32k Portugal 10.5m Spain 47m Gibraltar 30k Andora 85k Monaco 35k Malta 0.5m UK 63m Ireland (eire) 6.3m Sudan 31m Tunisia 11m Algeria 38m Morocco 33m Ivory Coast 21m Benin 9.5m Guinea 10m Niger 17m Burkina Faso 15.7m Togo 7m Chad 10.3m Central African Republic 4.4m Republic of the Congo 4m Gabon 1.5m Cameroon 19.4m Gambia 1.8m Madagascar 22m Mauritius 1.3m Djibouti 0.8m Seychelles Ghana 24.2m Mali 14m Sierra Leone 6m South Africa 52m Malawi 15m Zambia 14.3m Namibia 2.1m Apparently we also got all of africa on the EUW server according to this post: http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/eu-west-and-eu-nordic-east-country-list-0 Anyways, this gives us a total population of ~380m without the african countries, and ~760m with them. China has 1.35b people in it according to wikipedia. Which means that depending on how you value the african countries, you end up with ~2-4 as many people in China as in the EUW server region. Exactly like i stated before. Now, i would guess that on average, more people in Europe have access to a computer with internet and the ability to play LoL than in China, but in Africa there are probably less. I don't know if there is any official data from riot on how many people play on each server, but i would be really confused if the number in China is 16 times as large as on EUW. | ||

Azubu Blaze vs Azubu Frost in OGN Champions Winter was really good. Most OGN bo5 series are pretty good, especially if they go to blind pick. | ||

- What are the top 3 strongest/most picked champions for each role at the moment? If they have funky item builds/or if all item builds are similar at the moment, feel free to explain them  Really safe picks are also nice to know as they are good to improve imo.- I believe that coaching is a great way to get better in almost anything. Are there any people who provide affordable and good coaching on the EUW server? | ||

Then somehow blizzard has this WCS thing with the best players from each region qualifying for an Offline event. And now.. I dont even understand what this is. Korean players (mma, forgg, mvp(!)) playing in a WCS europe tournament and somehow there is no GSL but it is merged with this WCS or something and there is challenger and premium league which replaced code s and a or something, like wtf? Is it possible to make it even more complicated? Not that I care very much, but it would be nice to be able to understand what is going on without reading like fucking 15 liquipedia pages. Jesus Christ. And this is supposed to get more people into E-Sports and specifically SC2? Lmao | ||
