You think that more will switch? Personally I don't think so, I think those that don't like SC2 are just gonna retire. And BW skills imo don't translate that well to LoL. | ||

Games that require a hefty payment are not popular. Either way I think it's a little ridiculous to have such a "large" competitive scene when Dota 2 exists and LoL gets new heroes all the time. | ||

Dota is and always has been free and has much lower computer spec requirement (although lol spec requirement is pretty much the same as sc2). Guess what happened during the time lol didn't exist. Koreans played a dota clone called Chaos, dota never saw popularity in korea. It's simply because koreans find lol fun, that it's popular in korea. The general population in korea doesn't give a flying fuck about marketing or doing things for esports, they are not that stupid. So please quit it with the "oh its free, that's why its popular" shenanigans. chaos is also free and low reqs. so it became popular. my theory works i think  | ||

And there are many other examples for free2play games that just fail. Btw is Sc2 still free for WoW players in korea? http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/30/starcraft-2-free-for-wow-players-in-korea-loses-18-rating/ | ||

Becauseof how much the pros play the game, the shine of the game itself wears off and the comradeship is more important in keeping interest, and LoL ties it into the game far more than sc1 or sc2 | ||

Or if they truly cared about Esport, they wouldn't have sued Broadcasting station for making their game so popular. Or if they truly care about Esport, they would have...etc., etc., etc, As an ex bw fanboy from 2000, I wholehearthly agree with this. Seriously, Blizz messed up harcore on sc2, bnet 2.0 is a total joke compared to its father, maphack all over the place. Another argument is that sc2 is mostly a solo game with a difficult learning curve. LoL is a 6 buttons co-op game that leads to infinite possibility. Sorry by the way to bash sc2 a little. | ||
