This is really good news. Now I can watch League highlights on Sportcenter while I catch up on the latest Kobe Bryant plays!

Well, I'm happy since we're closer to getting closer to Korea's e-sports policy.

And so what does this means exactly? Like benefit wise. I don't think LCS or any kind of league related event will be on State-side TV's or anything yet.

At least within the LCS and international competition it's pretty big. If you remember, Shiphtur couldn't play past week 2 of the spring split because of visa issues, and the NA team got held up with all-stars because of visa issues. None of that is a problem now.
