I was browsing LOL forums and found this interesting topic. I'm pretty amaze and surprise about it. I know Starcraft is like "E-sport" of Korea but I guess Koreans are getting tired of it and trying something new.
What do you think?

There's a thread precisely about this at the top of General Discussion.

And it's inciting the usual amount of rage and flamebaiting.

No reason to have a new thread on this, there's one in General already.

I find irony in the fact that a large portion of the people bashing LoL as an easy game, are SC2 fans.

The same fans that BW fans bashed on because the BW fans felt that BW was being replaced by an easier game.

These same fans are now bashing LoL, saying it's too easy of a game and thus it's inferior.

Apparently the SC2 fans forgot the time when everyone was hating on SC2 for having auto mine, MBS, and UUS.

maybe this thread could be about, I dunno, LoL being the new big cheese in Korea than flaming it.

Should be awesome. Just need a replay system and something like WAAAAGH TV or whatever the Dota 2 "drop in and spectate" thing is going to be.

Gonna be a hell of a lot of sexy korean cosplayers

Fuck sake I'm like willling to give up on the rest of TL because it only makes me mad how dumb and hateful people get when their favorite game is not #1 everything. Like 7y old sandbox fights. I really wish the banlings would start giving people time outs for baseless bashing like that. God.

Hey guys ESPORTS IS DYING because the biggest esport in the world is F2P. And fk Chess, such an easy game, no mechanical skills needed, any monkey can pick a piece and move it on a board!

True. Because outside the LoL subforum all I see is elitist bashing other games.

EDIT: I'm glad this is happening,maybe soon we'll see more Korean teams competing in tournaments with NA/EU teams and that's only gonna make the scene better.

the thread in general discussion is a huge flame bait and every second that i read it i must force myself not to write something that will at least get me a warning. so i will stay here and talk with reasonable people.

something that lol absolutely needs to succed as an esport is a good replay system. just no way around it. and it needs such a system as soon as possible.
easy to get replays allow so much extra content to be created and that is really important to compete with other games.
dota 2 has an amazing spectator system and will include a replay system right from the start as far as i know.

Hopefully the korean teams bring korean team disciple as well so EU/NA teams have to follow or fall behind.

Skill BW>SC2>other competative games>LoL

That's reallity. Even among other Mobas LoL is the easiest. I don't really care which game has a bigger viewership because LoL has the viewership that wouldn't have been watching ANY eSport if it hadn't been LoL.

Must....not....post in....GD thread.....

At what point did the BW vs SC2 bashing finally stop (or at least when did the flow lessen?)
I want to know how much damn longer we're going to be forced to put up with this shit crapping up our subforum, SC2 LR threads and now the rest of the site.

It's the cost of LoL's success. People are uncertain about Starcraft's place in the future of esports...makes it REAL easy to lash out at the game that's enjoying a golden age.

Stupid, but it is what it is. The hate probably will die down soon enough.

I am trying my hardest not to laugh and sigh at the same time. I don't think half of the people on TL even knows what E-Sports even means and they mostly equate it to SC2 and literally cannot imagine a world with any other successful game.

It is also immensely tempting to point out that one of the best SC2 players was a Woongjin Terran. But I shall resist.
It's like, "Is the Federation's Mobile Suit some kind of monster?"
