Report: Overwatch Now More Popular Than League of Legends at Korean Internet Cafes - News

by William D'Angelo , posted on 28 June 2016 / 6,164 Views

Overwatch has done something that no other game has been able to do since August 2012. The game is more popular than League of Legends at Korean internet cafes.

Gametrics, a website that tracks what people are playing at more than 4,000 Korean internet cafes, reports more than 30 percent of people are playing Overwatch, while 27.8 percent are playing League of Legends.

Blizzard Entertainment has been popular in Korea for a long time. StarCraft has been successful in the country for a long time.

Thanks Polygon.

I'm not surprised as it's also a new game. Let's see if it'll remain at the top or will LoL come back.

And it only sold 1 Million units at launch which is way below what the Media wants us make to believe. They do like this game is extremely popular but it isnt.
