Overwatch overtakes League
Overwatchis a phenomenon. Consider:League of Legends, with its $1 million world championships, with itshundreds of millionsof fans tuning in. It’s huge in a way that most of us cannot fathom, yeah?
And it’s been the most-played game in South Korean internet cafes since August of 2012. That’sfour years at the top. It’s like if the Bills won all those Super Bowls instead of losing four straight.
But it has finally been dethroned, if only for a week, byOverwatch. Blizzard’s shooter topped the weekly metrics of Korean data tracking siteGametricswith a 29.56% share toLeague of Legends‘ 28.33% share.Gametrics tracks over 4,000 internet cafes in the country, which still boasts high attendance in net cafe style social play settings.
