Guess what game South Koreans searched for the most in 2013!

South Korea is a country that loves its video games. If you’ve been following our frequently-updated rundowns of the top PC games in the country, you already know the answer to the question in the title: League of Legends.

But just how popular is League in Korea? Popular enough that it was the second most-common search term on Naver, Korea’s top search engine, in 2013. Especially impressive: League was the only game to even make the top ten, and its spot at number two on the chart puts it ahead of Google, Facebook, Youtube, and several of Korea’s most popular e-banks and shopping sites.

In fact, the only thing people search for more frequently than League of Legends is apparently popular web portal Daum.
