League of Legends World Tour - China Posted by Tamat on Wed, 2012-02-15 17:32
The next stop on the League of Legends World Tour brings us to China. As one of the fastest growing markets for PC games, Chinese gamers are some of the most passionate in the world. With more and more and more titles are quickly expanding into the region, the Chinese marketplace has become a hotspot for competitive gaming. In particular, Chinese players primarily enjoy FPS, MMORPG and MOBA style games.
Although there were already well-established competitors in the region, China was quick to embrace League of Legends, citing a quick, reliable update schedule and open, responsive developers as two of their primary reasons for playing. Available as a part of China’s QQ Network – a holistic service that offers social networking, messaging and gaming services to its users – the game quickly soared to the top of the charts when the open beta began in July 2011. By the end of the year, League of Legends had become one of the fastest growing games released by a foreign game studio in the past three years.
League of Legends is also frequently represented at some of the larger gaming conventions in China, with passionate players often turning out in elaborate costumes to view the latest developments to the title. In addition to the cosplay community, a huge number of fan arts and crafts flood the Chinese League of Legends forums each and every day across a variety of media including: illustrations, sculptures and even sand art!
