@MonteCristo The massive amount of good this could do in the west if western governments would take over prediction / betting markets.
But hey gotta see how well it’s ran, something like this just feels made for corruption.

@MonteCristo Same here in Taiwan.
Having the gov step in here is good because it's a much harder bookie to collude with, and we get things like tax breaks for orgs and revenue for social programs.

@MonteCristo Norway has a similar system were its betting goes back to its own sport specifically football/soccer. Its also why its frowned upon when norwegian players gets betting sponsors from non government funded betting places.

To be clear:
This is specifically betting operated by the Korean government, not independent betting companies operating in Korea.
The proceeds from the current system support youth sports and development, so this could help fund esports at a grassroots level.

Having just spent 2 weeks in Transylvania:
It's crazy that the Saxon (ethnic German population) in Transylvania dropped from 250,000 in the 1930s to around 10,000 today.
The cities are still there, but they're not inhabited by the people who built them.

It's incredible to me that HLE as MSI champions are barely ahead of T1 in people's predictions to win LCK
T1 is coming off a near-loss to BNK FearX and HLE also beat T1 in the last bo3 of the regular season
I think GenG will win LCK, but HLE has a much better chance than people
