  • June 8, 2022
  • SEOULSPACE
Korean MMOs are not only very popular in South Korea but all around the world. However, they are starting to get a reputation for focusing too much on monetization.

It is estimated that the average Korean player spends between $500 to $1000 on their favorite game during their lifetime.

  • SEOULSPACE
AI vs Pro Gamers? Who wins? Back in 2016, AlphaGo made headlines in South Korea when it beat the best GO player in the world, Lee Sedol in 4 games. From that point, it was becoming very clear that the advancement in AI technology was further along than many experts predicted. So obviously in Korea, there came talk of whether an AI computer can beat a top Starcraft 2 pro gamer. Korea has by far the top Starcraft 2 pro gamers in the world. Many of them feel the idea of an AI beating a top Starcraft 2 pro is decades away.

Top 10 Jungle Champions in Leauge of Legends Used by Koreans

  • March 2, 2021
  • Minoo Yun
Junglers spend a lot of time in foliage between the three main lanes of Summoner’s Rift. They fight neutral monsters, gather buffs, and look for ways to flank opponents. While other players gain experience and gather gold, you as a Jungler need to accrue gold and experience by defeating monsters in the jungle. These monsters aren’t easy to kill like minions. Best jungle champions are able to sustain health throughout jungling, and be able to clear jungle camps quickly. While you are going through your camps, you should be aware of what is going on in other lanes. Jungle is the most important role in the game because you can really help out all lanes at any time. Depending on how well and smartly you gank lanes, you can win or lose the game.

Top 10 Top Lane Champions in League of Legends Used by Koreans

  • February 25, 2021
  • Minoo Yun
League of legends is less than a decade old so we don’t have a legend of the game. A kind of Hall of Fame because many of the best like Faker and THESHY are still playing. The solo killing lane is one of the hardest to master. So which are the top lane champions most used in Korea? There is a lot of pressure that emanates from the long-isolated lane furthest removed from the center of the lane. Going 1 vs 1 against someone else is a big responsibility, therefore, picking the right champion is critical. Unlike those forgotten champions we now never play, there are champions that are very good for the current meta. We polled over 100 LOL players in South Korea to come up with this ranking. We will constantly update this article every 3 months as the meta changes. The ranks are based on statistics in the KR server after the 10.18 patch.
