I've never played League of Legends, or even known how many players play on a daily basis. But this is insane!!

Dong This is crazy. My friend plays LoL and it reminds me a lot of WoW, didn't like that game either...
I don't see why though, a friend of mine refuses to play it cause he thinks it's like WoW. And it's not at all the same lol but that's your opinion vs mine

Kurumu I hope that no one is surprised by this, this game gets so many people playing it and watching it. Good job though for riot games.
This is true, but this could be surprising because not everybody knows the daily statistics.

Oh wow, 27 million daily players is pretty commendable for any game. Riot have really been doing well for themselves. I have player a few games of league of legends and while not for me i can acknowledge that it's pretty fun and i know why people play it so much (i have family members who play it non stop) so i hope to see it and e-sports in general grow in the future
