Maybe he's really been practicing LoL but it seems weird for him to coach it out of nowhere. Please do note that SC and SC2 are not necessarily the same game. I think Yellow failed to produce much results after announcing his bid at the latter, didn't he? I appreciate his decision to venture on to fresh new territory instead of clinging onto game he have little chance of being successful, though knowing about poker bit makes it considerably less epic. Actually, what a bitter news. Hope he manage to discover stable source of income (and get rid of his gambling addiction). | ||

I don't think LoL is very big in Korea, but it also released there fairly recently, so it's a good bet it'll grow. Still, it's really kind of arbitrary a career move. I guess I wish him well, though. I wonder if it's named "Storm" after him. I'd like to see him play, I guess. I wonder what champion he'd pick. | ||

Sudden Attack, the korean CS, being the most dominant one followed by Aion, an MMORPG. LoL has seen an explosive growth in Korea, which is why you see all them Pros talk about it / move it. It could very well be the next big thing in Korea. (If it already isn't.) Really looking forward to this. | ||

What matters is what people are willing to pay money to see, as the SC2 scene is suddenly learning. Not to say that LoL couldn't be huge. It draws big foreign numbers, but that's because Riot is pouring money into the competitive scene. No one's making money from LoL yet. | ||

If anything sc2 is only big because of the foreign numbers. | ||

There's a reason for that. If anything sc2 is only big because of the foreign numbers. Pretty much, though it's slowly growing in Korea. That's why the "OMG SC2 is going to kill BW" hype is so overblown. SC2 is actually going to collapse a bit pretty soon. And there's not yet any reason to think LoL will be any different. I mean, it might not. It very well could take off. But it hasn't stood on it's own two feet yet. That's why I'm surprised Yellow isn't getting a job in BW, as a coach or commentator or something. He must either love LoL or hate all things Starcraft. Though, I suppose, it's not like he can't go back to being a BW community dude if LoL doesn't pan out. | ||
