You are so wrong if you really think the only thing wrong with SC2 is that it's not free. Korea is not a third world country, and people actually spend money on LoL (most people doing ranked games probably spend more on LoL than a SC2 player on his game). | ||

I don't see why you'd be any surprised if SC2 PL was to be shut down. No audience, less than 10k stream viewers.. SC2 is dead in Korea, just deal with it. | ||

I personally don't follow LoL that much and I think the game is pretty boring (game itself, not playing with friends or watching) but growing eSports scene is a good sign. Its not like suddenly no one will play Starcraft 2. Starcraft 2 is competition in 1v1, for LoL you need a good team to compete etc. I think its good news... I don't care about hashtagESPORTS, I care about SC2. | ||

I personally don't mind at all. I would be happy with just having GomTV productions like we had for the most of WOL. | ||

No audience, what streams have you been watching? The studio was full for OSL every night so far and PL crowds are a lot better than 5 months ago. I'm really tired of this exaggerated negativity. | ||

But the point is that you start out playing it for free, then once you start to get really into it, then you spend money. Compared to Starcraft 2 where you need to buy the game just to be able to play it anywhere. | ||

Surely a high percentage of Pro Koreans would've have switched to Starcraft 2 keeping the player base and viewer base the same to the new game. Compared to the incredibly hardcore LoL that Koreans now love? Personally I think Sc2 is far harder then BW in every aspect that wasn't just that bad because they couldn't make it any better back then. Watching those old BW matches I am just struck by how slow all the units move and how few units there are to control, how few abilities they have to use etc. | ||
