Vainglory dev hires former Wargaming exec to tap into MOBA-crazy Asia markets

Vainglory has an even better chance at mass e-sports adoption now.

Super Evil Megacorp hires Taewon Yun to oversee the move of its mobile MOBA to Japan and Korea this week. Yun previously worked at Wargaming, Blizzard, Red 5, and Electronics Arts, overseeing hit online titles such as World of Tanks and World of Warcraft. He will use his 18 years of experience as an Asia-focused exec to head Super Evil Megacorp’s Asia Pacific region, giving the company reach into the $19 billion Asian digital games market. Vainglory is the first major effort in mobile touch-based MOBA games, and with some help could be a major player in the thriving Asian e-sports scene.
