I'm a little surprised Maknoon still isn't 6 items yet. Still got a Randuin to buy.

That isn't right at all. While CLG.EU hasn't been around forever, the people in it have.
I know wickd has been around for a very long time.

The rest of blaze though? Eh... Not much exposure to na.


Also, everyone on CLGeu speaks English. No one on Blaze does afaik.

Why do people think Maknoon is so popular? lol

It's sadly just a fact that people are less engaged when they lack an emotional connection to the players or teams involved. As Yango has said, the real challenge to LoL is if Koreans/Other Asians take over everything and make it harder for people to want to care. I mean, look at MLG SC2. There's only been one foreign winner of an MLG ever since the Koreans arrived (HuK) and one other Finals with a Foreigner (Naniwa). Ever since 2012, no foreigner has made it to the Finals at all.


Yes, completely agree. I didnt play sc2 at all besides campaign and customs but I really enjoyed all the tournaments since beta. Since all these koreans popped up it just stopped being interesting because of the lack of connection with the players. Not that I am discriminating, it's just that they don't speak english and so it's harder for me to understand them and like their personality. The same holds true for football, I can't quite like some foreign players and teams (mostly eastern europeans and russians) although I believe they play phenomenally.

The fact that LoL is so much funier to play than it is to watch is due to the game being more fun to play than sc2 imo :p

I fail to understand why personality matters more than good play. It just doesn't make sense.

Watching tournaments and streams is about entertainment rather than education for the most part. That means you want to have an emotional connection to the media at hand for maximum impact (just like how you want to connect with the characters of a book or movie). Feeling the highs as your team wins, or the sad swings when they lose; it makes the experience more intense.


Exactly. If everyone was rooting for winners, last year everyone would be a Barcelona fan, this year everyone would be a Chelsea fan. Yet, why are so many ppl Mourinho fans if he doesnt win the biggest league since 04?

Apparently I'm the only person that likes to watch the best teams and players. Strange


Not the only, just probably in the minority. There are some people that watch the game for just their love of the game; but for a lot of people who watch any sort of competitive activities, they follow a few teams and individuals most closely. When the people that they have made some sort of emotional connection with are gone, they lose interest. I don't consider it bad or good, it's just how most of us work.

Oh come on. people are clearly overstating this point. There are maybe 20% less viewers less than for the most watched games with NA involvement. The people that only watch the NA games are the minority.

Or is it even 20%? Difference might be lower. Need solid numbers here.

I would argue Blaze has a fair amount of recognition since they were the first Korean team a lot of people saw, at the MLG Summer Arena. Captain Jack is pretty well known anyway.

On a different note, Lustboy does it again, Haunting Guise on Zyra. They lost but I like the idea of HG on supports.

20% less viewers is a lot, especially when you take into account the fact that typically finals have MORE viewers than earlier stages, not less.

Yes! I noticed that during worlds as well. The team is definitely "his" in that he obviously makes the calls.
