#8 OGN- Ongamenet

There's a lot of TV shows out there. You have dramas, comedy, reality shows, etc. But can anybody really expect a successful network where popular games are broadcast on TV? If you ask a South Korean, the answer is obviously yes, and they would be surprised as to why you would even ask such a question.

OGN is a television channel in South Korea that broadcasts matches of popular games in the region such as Starcraft and League of Legends. The key term here is "e-sports", where being good at a video game can put you on a professional level and achieve celebrity status (at least in South Korea).

This channel in specific hosts tournaments in the summer and winter where the very best players in South Korea (who happen to be inhuman in performance) play against one another for prizes and titles.

It used to be that OGN only paid attention to Starcraft (considered a national pastime in Korea), but with the rise of another extremely popular game known as League of Legends, they have added another program to what they normally show.

Audiences around the world are astounded at what South Korea has to offer for aspiring professional gamers, and many other pros hope that one day the world will adjust to the same scale that South Korea approaches towards the realm of "e-sports".

Only the top teams were able to participate in OGN's "Hot6ix Champions Summer 2013". Game on screen is League of Legends.
