Boxer is considered too old to play bw and even sc2 to it fullest with 32 years (that is 3 years more than me!!!!!) While Hollyfield and Couture can fight (box and mma) at their fullest with near 50 years, perhaps more casual games can result in less physical damage and people not having to retire/become coach so soon. I still cant accept bw hurts people more than mma .... | ||

Saying the SC2 micro doesn't take attention or micro is very incorrect, especially in comparison to LoL. The thing about LoL is that the game doesn't underline your mistakes, and point them to you as SC does (supply blocked or too many resources saved up), so you can't tell how bad you are playing or how good you are playing. What I like to use as an example in LoL for a high skill cap is the pro scene on EUW, there is a number of teams that are "good" and they can take a game from any other team, but then you have ~2/3 teams that manage 75% win ratio within this group making them the "top" teams. recently CLG.eu (a "top" team) had to play against a team (convergence) composed of 2.2k+ elo players (top .05% of all LoL players world wide) for the ipl4 qualifiers on the NA server (convergence was an NA team so that allowed them to pick the tournament server they want to play on)...short story short CLG.eu with 200+ ping made this 2.2k elo players look like scrubs. oops double post --- wont let me merge them (or delete this one). | ||

With that being said, CoD and BF are garbage too, so meh. Honestly, I'm not surprised to see this. I can't imagine him wanting to continue playing so a coaching role would be best, and since LoL is much bigger inside of Korea it's a good choice. Yeah, SA & SF2 is pretty terrible compare to 1.6, but it's Valve that did fucked up in SKorea with CS1.6, they wanted to get paid from pcbangs for using their games (like blizzard did or do with SC2). Now they got CS: Online (looks like a mix of 1.6 and CZ) and from what I know that's free. | ||

I'm just saying that I find it a terrible, shallow, hard to follow game. It's ok to play - certainly less frustrating than any good RTS - but I could never get into its pro-scene. And you will never convince me a game without an real economy can have the strategic depth of one with some sort of limited zero-sum resource pool. LoL has none - the characters respawn, you can't really control space - chess doesn't have those weaknesses and it's not even a computer game. There is no alternative quantum universe you will find where I paid season tickets to watch a LoL league. Might as well watch a fish feeding frenzy at the bottom of a muddy pool. And it makes me a little bit sad that my favourite zerg of all time is choosing THAT for his future. The first high-level BW game I ever saw was YelloW vs BoxeR! *sniff* | ||

Also LoL is a game all about controlling space and areas of the map, whether you think so or not. | ||

It will be more of a managing job than a coaching job. YellOw has a decade of progaming experience, so he knows a lot about how to structure a team (training regimen, player discipline, support and teamwork, etc). He's also a very well known person in the industry so his face adds profile to the team which can help with attracting sponsors and fans. | ||
