Korea Creates $1.8K League of Legends Tournament

If you thought commercials in South Korea featuring Starcraft 2 were good, then get excited for some featuring League of Legends. It looks as if the little-MOBA-that-could has become popular enough to deserve its own tournament, at least according to our competitive gaming friends in the eastern hemisphere. They’re willing to pony up almost $200K for not only Korean players, but any team that feels they can compete. I guess now instead of fans crying when their favorite player loses a zealot, they will cry when they give up first blood.

StarCraft 2 Post Release Update – Sales and MLG news

StarCraft 2 Post Release Update – Sales and MLG news

Within the first 48 hours of release, StarCraft 2 has already become the fastest selling strategy game of all time. Already 1.5 million units have been sold, and that was in the first two days, keep in mind that close to 1 million of these sales were pre-orders.

It is rare that when a game releases it is praised by the entire gaming community, but after sinking quite a few hours into both multiplayer skirmish mode, and campaign it is easy to see how this game has been reviewed so well, and carried such a great reputation all of these years. It seems to look like who ever plays this game has nothing but positive things to say, and unlike other RTS games Blizzard has done an excellent job on re inventing the RTS campaign. The missions are varied, detailed, and challenging. With two full campaign expansions to come in the future from Protoss and Zerg, there is no shortage of gameplay for the next few years ahead.
