WBG = Weibo Gaming
BLG = Bilibili Gaming
Weibo is a huge social networking site in China, similar to X / Twitter
Bilibili is a video streaming/sharing site, basically think of Youtube
So essentially we are getting the Chinese version of Youtube Gaming vs Twitter Gaming
Most LPL is backed by large corporations, in the LCK is the same. KT is Korea telecom. T1 is SK telecom. DK is backed by KIA. GenG is a esports conglomerate that operates like EDG, RNG and WE. I think the reason that esports is more successful is because of this.
all four lpl seeds this year are backed by huge companies. weibo and bilibili op already covered. lng is backed by li-ning, a huge sportswear and sports equipment company, which also sponsors lpl itself. jdg is backed by jingdong, china’s amazon equivalent. according to off-season rumours, these were also the four most expensive rosters in the lpl this season.
I thought Alibaba was China’s Amazon, what happened to that?
Isn’t alibaba the Chinese Amazon?
Jingdong is that big? I thought Taebao was the Amazon equivalent in China.
JD is a huge ecommerce retailer like Amazon, and T1 has SK Telecom and Comcast.
How big are sk telecom and Comcast?
