This seems like the best decision, LoL is very popular in S.Korea and more so then Sc2 who already have a bunch of casters but not alot of tournaments.

I wonder though, what if BW hadn't almost died out now, would he return as a progamer in BW?

I'm happy to see Nal_Ra getting back into casting but why did he change from the best and hardest game in the world to a game that takes no skill to play and causes brain seizures?


Yo dawg, I heard there's quite a lot of money to be won in League. No skill = EZPZ right? Gonna go win me some cash

How much League have you actually played? Or anyone for that matter who is bashing on LoL? Everyone is very 'YEAH, GO ESPORTS' but what they really mean is SC2*. How many other esports have you watched, much less even tried to play.

If you're looking for a reason, it's because LoL is hot shit in Korea and they take it damn seriously (acceting foreign teams directly into all of their competitions for example). Surely the trend towards this game tells you SOMETHING about Korean mentality (or the mentality of the 13million+ active League accounts right now).

Why not get off your high horse. When it was BW 'elitists' bashing on the casualness of SC2, SC2 fans defended their game relentlessly and the BW fans were told to back off. How about showing a bit of the same decorum and respect for the fans of the game you deem as being casual and taking no skill...

Your views on SC2 are harsh but not without substance. If you however are not understanding of players and commentators switching to a shallow game to earn their living, you'll have no-one to cheer for.

I really wish LoL was a better game and I could actually get behind it. I have tried it a couple times and I just can't find anything esports worthy there... is it more worthy than Sc2? Maybe. Sometimes I feel like the only reason I played Sc2 at all was because people tried to make it an esport.

Maybe if Blizzard hadn't spent the last few years taking Korean esports companies to court we'd have Nal_Ra in Sc2.

problem is a moba game isnt a good spectator sport, so its hard to accept it as a legit e-sport, though for LoL it doesnt matter since their are like 30+mil active accounts or something crazy.

still a shame to not see him play sc2, wouldda been cool to see him again.

Never watched a single of his games ever.

Leuge of legends isnt skill baised for shit compared to its popularity.

In some areas e-sports really does suck right now.

For the last 7 years, my heart has skipped a beat at the merest mention of the dreamer.

What the fuck is this shit though? Really Kang Min? Really?

I think I need to move on with my life.

Just curious, is it there a particular reason why he just has two parts in his name, instead of three?


Korean "first" (actually last) names can have one or two characters, because they're based on the Chinese system. Some names just happen to consist of one character, nothing more.


My reaction : it's really sad if you have to resort to such extremeties to earn your daily bread after chosing the path of a progamer. What a sad job, in the end.
If you seek well, you shall find.

Not surprising at all that nal_ra was given a spot at casting league of legend as a fan of these old school players having nal_ra,yellow and reach at LoL is a good thing and the only thing we are missing is boxer . Can't wait for boxer to create LoL team and be successful at managing the team .

Nal_Ra and old school players fighting !.

I've been told the same thing but I got up to like level 5 and just never played it again. However DotA2 I have my eyes on.

So much Blizzard biased..

Truth be told, I find watching LoL more enjoyable than watching ScToo.. ScToo is just Warcraft in Space with the way it is being balanced, and I was never a fan of Warcraft..

yeh but when you think how many people play LoL, thats hardly any of the playerbase.

you're also misunderstanding what 'spectator sport' is. LoL isnt spectator friendly at all unless you play and know whats happening, unlike sc2 where its like "oh, this guy has the bigger army and more bases therfore he is winning" etc where you dont necessarily need to play in order to see whos doing better, obviously its deeper than that though but its just an example.
