Some of you may have heard of KAIST I hope.

I was a Starcraft II maniac before, a master league player in KR server during Wings of Liberty seasons.



Anyway, I've founded an organization named ECCA(Esports Collegiate Club Association) last November, which is similar to CSL and TeSPA in USA. KAIST, SNU(Seoul National University) and Ewha Woman's University are the founders of this organiztion and now 26 universities are participating.







We're now hosting a league called KCLG (Korea Collegiate League Gaming) with 4 games ; Starcraft 2, Hearthstone, League of Legend and FIFA Online 3







We're trying to hold off-line playoffs and finals during the summer vacation, and to fill up the budget, we raised a crowd-funding in Korea (

Unfortunately, only few people have donated for us despite all the appealing funding rewards that we've prepared.

We're trying to find a way to send rewards overseas but the postal fee is too expensive T.T

I'll update when we find out a possible way for sending rewards. We're trying to find a way to send rewards overseas but the postal fee is too expensive T.TI'll update when we find out a possible way for sending rewards.

Could you give us any insight in how big fifa online 3 is in Korea? We all know how big League and BW/SC2 are in Korea and I think everyone knows that Hearthstone is super popular with casual gamers in any country, but I have no clue about the Fifa scene in Korea. I only know that SPOTV runs a league and that Fifa games are pretty popular in Europe.

Nexon Korea is hosting huge leagues in Korea currently, after they opened Nexon Arena. Recently there was FIFA Online 3 Championship qualifiers.

Actually the market share of FIFA Online 3 is higher than Starcraft 2 in PC Bangs. Nexon Korea is hosting huge leagues in Korea currently, after they opened Nexon Arena.

Probably changed it's name to Rookie league. I think those two have similar format Probably changed it's name to Rookie league. I think those two have similar format

GTR Profile Blog Joined September 2004 48888 Posts #12 Rookie League is basically an expanded form of Courage Tournament for amateurs, as the need for 'pro licenses' in the SC2 is all but obsolete. Makes it also easier for teams to scout players. Commentator Twitter: @GTR1H

That's all the information you need to get money via Paypal, but you might get it in lots of different currencies.

BTW, is it true that all teaching is done in English at KAIST? Or how does that work?

Was in Korea last week. Nobody plays SC2, me and brother were the only two playing, no whatever which time or which PC bangs we were going to.



LoL, Broodwar and Fifa were by far the most played games. A lot of Diablo 3 also. Was in Korea last week.

wasn't there a site that tracked a list of which game was played the most? wasn't there a site that tracked a list of which game was played the most? The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

Yes, we participated in Azubu collegiate champions!

It is true that all lectures are taught in English at KAIST, even if there is no foreign student in class!

Studying in college with a language that is not my country's is so hard T_T

Sometimes I feel like I'm studying abroad.
