Overwatch And League of Legends are running neck and neck in South Korea


While Blizzard’s new first person shooter Overwatch's massive success has attracted many Korean players to PC cafes nationwide, Korean produced online games are now losing ground in domestic market amid foreign competition.

On June 17, Overwatch starting making a move to overtake League of Legends, the reigning PC bang (net cafe) king. Overwatch edged out LoL by a mere 0.19 percent for the most played games in Korea.
But League of Legends took first place again with 29.70 percent next day, while Overwatch comes in at close second with 29.55 percent.
Third place is major domestic FPS game, Sudden Attack at 9.2 %, its market share down, from usual 10% or higher recently.


Major domestic online game developer, NCSOFT's three major titles "Lineage", "Blade & Soul" and "Aion"'s combined market share did not exceed 5%.

It has been claimed recently that Korea is losing its reputation as an online game superpower, on account of an increasing number of domestic game companies turning to importing foreign game titles rather than developing their own games.
