Neo, I look forward to your post on the weekend, but sadly this shitstorm may take a while to die down simply because of the dissimilarity between SC2/BW to LoL. I am well aware of the SC2 vs BW = SC2 vs LoL argument, but even in the face of obvious truths people are shutting it down because of how entrenched SC and Blizzard are in their minds and in this community. There has never before been ANYTHING this popular made by a company other than Blizzard before, at least not on a worldwide stage level. People simply cannot get around the fact that something could be better...well, not better, but different yet still fun that is not in some way related to the Holy SC. Not only that, but these p[eople who are ignorantly abusing us and our game in the majority will refuse to understand us by prinicple alone and so the myths of it being 'easier' will never be debunked in their minds. They see it as an easier DotA and nothing more, and since they will never try it themselves, they never will. The hipsters and fanatics will have their way for quite a while I think and I truly worry about how segregationalist TL.net will get over this issue before it is shut down or some drastic change is made that forever changes the face of TL SC as we know it. + Show Spoiler + Edit: Probably because the LoL crew isn't trying to kill Broodwar. You can't kill something that is already dead! lololol + Show Spoiler + J/K, <3 BW and always will. | ||

I believe Nazgul briefly touched on this on The Executives today. iirc, he said that there's a higher chance of TL picking up a Dota2 or LoL team than something like CS because there are sizable fanbases for both games on TL. But the likelihood it happening is still quite low because this is still primarily a SC community. I could be slightly off so you'll have to watch the VOD | ||

But believe me when I say a vast majority of BW fans have either tried SC2 extensively or still follow both games. LoL, on the other hand, didn't carry that overwhelming expectation, and they found it to be a fun game to play as well. | ||

The discussion came up about the pros and cons of professional teams having multiple games under a single brand if anyone was wondering (ie. dignatas vs TL) | ||

The amount of flamebaiting and misinformation in that thread has caused me to type up a response and erase it at least 3 times already for fear of getting warned/banned. | ||

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! agreed, we need to drop the focus on "korea"... but ive been saying that since beta | ||

Morrow's response was fairly level-headed. He stated his opinion, but also that he wasn't in a position to judge either. He also said that overall it might be a good thing for esports and that SC2 players shouldn't worry too much about it. Dunno why you're picking on his response. EDIT: Oh, it looks like he edited what he wrote. Meh. | ||
