In South Korea, League of Legends is back in command – in the PC Bangs, LoL is ahead of Overwatch.
All over the world, the “arcades” have disappeared or are relegated to a niche existence. Here in Germany, gaming has shifted to our own living rooms – we have bulky PCs and consoles at home. In South Korea and other Asian countries, you go to the “PC Bang”, which is an internet café. Here, they are already relics of the past. In South Korea, gaming halls and gamer temples continue to enjoy unwavering popularity.
In South Korea, for a long time, “League of Legends was the most played title, then came Overwatch and managed to break its long reign – LoL was on top for 4 years. Now the “old order” is restored. LoL is back at number 1 with a significant lead, as reported by Gametrics.
This could be due to the fact that currently, there is no “season” for Overwatch, Season 3 is yet to start. Perhaps the hierarchy will shift again. It might not be wise to bet on it.
