Korea slowly but surely becomes less and less respectable in my mind, with their LoL obsession. Anyhow, good luck with the new venture, Kespa, and hopefully some "dirty LoL money" will be brought into StarCraft as well, as Kespa works with both.

Isn't lol's popularity leveling out at the moment, at least from the stream numbers I've seen recently, and so there can't be much growth to expect?

isnt c9 the top na team right now?i also think clg had higher s1 placement than tsm.tsm seem a bit overrated to me.
@archoonoid.
it is.i have been yelling this stuff on the forums for weeks and no one pays attention.lol is capped between 100k and 150k rarely do they reach 200k and that only in cases like between 2 fan favourites like fnatic vs gambit or tsm vs clg.I would really wanna see their numbers if they had as many asians playing in na and eu like sc2 has.

I have no problem with a team game hitting proleague, I just wish it was DOTA 2. It's far faaaaar better

They should pick up DOTA and WoT too. Now instead of one game, matches are one set in each game, and the same people have to play all the games. It'd be like a e-sports triathalon (quadathalon?)

still considering their proclaimed 70million players(cough accounts) and 5 mil daily players they should have a bit higher numbers.

It is 30 million players I thought? Probably the amount of casual players is higher and thats why.

future esport belongs to the casuals. Something people can just pick up, smash buttons 1-4 and still get decent results. And from the huge pools of casuals, a few will go hardcore/pro.
Look at diablo, a massive failure of a game. Despite that it still have millions more active players than sc2. Why? people can smash button 1-6 and kill shit. You mix a casual game that is built with esport in mind (fairness, good skill ceiling, low skill require entry, f2p) then you get something successful like LoL
In future I see some form of casual-ized rpg/mmo turn into the esport spot light. I can't imagine what such RPG would look like, but those who do and can implement it correctly will be massively successful.

LoL is probably so established in Korea that when DotA 2 is officially released to the public that Korean DotA 2 teams won't receive the funding & infrastructure that accelerated Korean play skill in LoL so quickly
I strongly believe that DotA 2 will not reach the same popularity of LoL anywhere in the world outside of China because Valve has been so slow in developing DotA 2 while Riot / LoL has been continually building a foothold in the MOBA space

Right now C9 is doing better, sure. But C9 has never played vs Koreans and TSM won the spring split of S3 of NA LCS, C9 wasn't in it.
My point was more that during a time when TSM dominated NA (most of 2012), they got crushed by Korean teams.

"pro" korean teams that would get owned by any pro b team from china/eu? kespa was the best bet for all aspiring dota 2 progamers, and now that it has been ruled out dota players have no alternative but to play in teams that probably dont have the knowledge nor the experience required to become top level. considering the fact that china and eu started playing the game YEARS before koreans did, it just got infinitely harder for koreans to rival the chinese and the western community. dota 2 has a contract with gomtv which gave sc2 its greatest champions such as mvp,nestea,mma,drg,polt etc.only recently kespa went in the sc2 scene.gomtv champions are more than enough tackle any team in most esports.I would not be surprised if in 1 year kr teams start winning everything.And as for that matter the koreans did not even have a lol server and now they are dominating eu and na.Kespa is good but its not all that good.And many good lol teams such as mvp ozone although playing on ogn arent kespa affiliated. top korean dota teams are behind some eu/na pubstack. they wont do anything in a year People thought that about LoL too when season 1/WCG was still out and NA was dominating everything. One year to season 2, and top NA rarely took games, let alone series off top korean teams. Don't be surprised if in a year the Koreans are up there with the Chinese. LoL is probably so established in Korea that when DotA 2 is officially released to the public that Korean DotA 2 teams won't receive the funding & infrastructure that accelerated Korean play skill in LoL so quickly I strongly believe that DotA 2 will not reach the same popularity of LoL anywhere in the world outside of China because Valve has been so slow in developing DotA 2 while Riot / LoL has been continually building a foothold in the MOBA space Of course LoL is established better everywhere... It's Riots cash cow and they are reinvesting some of the revenue into popularizing the game, which apparently is a huge sum of money. Their aggressive strategy works really well, despite the fact that the game itself is falsely called free and is not the best game ever made. Valve at the same time needs 3+ years to put all the heroes in the game... Not to create them. Just to copy them into the game - they are already created. I can't see how they can win that race.
