Super Evil Megacorp Seriously Develops Vainglory in Indonesia

In just two years since its first launch on iOS, Vainglory instantly became the best online mobile battle arena (MOBA) game ever. Also not exaggerating to say Vainglory (VG) follow the footsteps of League of Legends and Dota 2 that changed and expanded the community to be able to hold major tournaments every year.

Evidently, last year Vainglory started his first professional season with Phoenix Armada as his champion. At that time there were about 25 thousand more people who do video streaming final round 2016 World Championship directly. A number that is not small, considering Vainglory is a mobile game, not a PC game.

Not only growing in the United States and Europe, Vainglory also turned out to be a favorite mobile games in Asia, especially in Indonesia.

"We (Super Evil Megacorp) are quite surprised by the high number of Vainglory players in Indonesia and we have never promoted Vainglory," said Angie Heo, Business Operations Director, APAC at Tekno Liputan6.com recently in Jakarta.

During his visit to Jakarta, Super Evil Megacorp team found several obstacles that must be faced by Vainglory loyal players in Indonesia. One such obstacle is the in-app purchase (IAP) method.

"We realize Vainglory players in Indonesia do not have credit cards, so many of them are having trouble completing heroes, buying skins, or adding to the number of ICEs," he added.

To overcome this, SEMC is currently approaching with several payment gateway partners. "We will also adopt a carrier billing system in the future," he said.

When discussing the growing community of VG players in Indonesia and high ability, Angie hopes that more players from Indonesia will join in the second season of Vainglory competition which was held in March 2017.

For your information, the number of Vainglory players to date has reached 12 million worldwide. In its journey, more than 1 billion matches have been made by Vainglory's loyal players.

It did not take long, the names of eSports team such as SoloMid, Fnatic, and Cloud9 also formed a special team to compete in the competitive event Vainglory.
