My problem with all the League broadcasts is that they are completely inaccessible to someone who has no idea what’s going on. Nothing is ever explained. You’re just assumed to know the terminology, what it means, and why it matters.

You’re not wrong. It’s very very dense. They could do a little more, but there’s just not enough time to really explain everything. I do think that it’s less inscrutable than DOTA - the fights are about the same, but the map and strategic environment is much more self-explanatory.

The great thing about esports in general, though, is how approachable they are - if you’ve got a computer, you can download the game and learn a little about it. Compared to the major team sports, the costs and necessary supporting infrastructure is tiny on a per-player basis.
