Odd a lot of people automatically expect him to do well.
Hmmm, i suppose he'll just be playing pubs/scrimming with random players maybe and then wait for the post-TI shuffle to try out for a team

Select got onto a team in like what january or febuary? Finding a team in august/september and sticking with it will make a huge difference and should give plenty of time to develop into a good player before next TI if TI is his goal.

Will never happen, the dude considers it a game of luck and compared alliance winning TI3 with entering a lottery and hoping to win.
He'd basically be the biggest hypocrite in the world if he ever began playing(Oh wait...)

Naniwa said he was mistaken though. He's playing LoL atm and has admit it was a lot harder than he thought.

Nani is diamond 1 in LoL, reaching it in 3 months or even less :D
But he's coming back to sc2 in few months, need to reach 4th peak.
And really, calling Nani as hypocrite is a joke, guy is blunt as hell in everything.

Well, not as excited as could about Babyknight's comeback, but i guess it won't be hard to find a team for him, considering his skills.

I think that sc2 is the hardest game in the world, mechanicslevel is so freaking high. If you are good in sc2 you will have an easier time adjusting to any other game. I cant say the same about dota or lol

Nah.
League is very hard in mechanical level because game tempo is very fast usually and you need to make some really flashy decisions to win because of bursts, DotA in general doesn't require as much mechanics, it's way more complex game than League and decisionmaking is usually > mechanics.

In League you basically can win only on mechanics, in DotA it's not possible.

Not at all.
Even if you were the best player in the world in SC2 it doesn't mean you'll be even remotely successful in dota2.
It's a teamgame.

.

Also i disagree with this, you also have to make flashy descisions in dota and dota definitely doesn't lack burst damage.
Plenty of games can be won or lost in dota because a player got outplayed or simply had worse mechanics than his opponents. Getting firstblood in mid because you're a mechanically superior player? That can snowball into you getting yet another kill or simply win you the lane. There are quite a few mid match-ups for example where the mechanically talented player will win his lane not because of decision making but because of his mechanics.
I've played both LoL and dota and i definitely consider dota to reward the mechanically superior player a lot more.

So i really don't see how you can say that, or rather i simply disagree.
