The winning prize money of these tournaments will be 2 billion won (about US$ 1.8 million).

Awesome, League is a very nice competitive game, one which is just much more forgiving than SC2. I make know judgment about how good they are in comparison, but both are excellent games that will flourish in the future.
FOR GREAT JUSTICE! Bans for the ban gods!

It's quite sad that such an easy game is now the #1 E-sports game.
That's like live broadcasting rock paper scissors

But but but... I'm sad now
I mean LoL is a great game, I play it myself. But when I think South Korean Esports, Starcraft just screams out. I don't like it being replaced

Calling this game easy is like calling 5v5 dodgeball easy.

I used to tell my students I was teaching that I played this game! I wonder if they remember me?

This is an opinion piece. I was expecting some ratings that LoL on OGN was beating Brood War or something. Yeah, OGN is throwing a lot of money into it and the first few days of competition did get, I believe, five thousand (?) fans to the studio as they were giving away something pertaining to the game, but who knows yet. I would wait a few months to see if the interest keeps going or if it's just a bubble that pops.

I mean, GOM gave away how much money last year and that didn't make it the #1 e-sport in Korea over Brood War.

Anything that keeps eSports alive in Korea is a good thing.

Seeing as SC2 isn't taking off in Korea as people had hoped and BW is slowly dying off, it's good LoL is there to keep things going.
