I'm finding it quite fun, but I was watching the LoL Gamescom streams for the first time yesterday and have to say I'm not quite sure how to enjoy watching it. Sure, I find it interesting seeing how they play it, just don't quite understand the spectator appeal yet.
I guess the spectator enjoyment comes the more you understand it.
Though, I felt like I could enjoy watching SC2 when I knew nothing about it.
Probably should wait for Dominon, it seems to have so much more Esports potential than basic Dota-style IMO.

MaNa > MoonGlade, without any doubt, Glade might be a decent player, but his games against Huk were terrible. MaNa is gonna destroy him. Who's Nerchio? You think u are funny sir? Puma is next Artosis creation. Dont get me wrong he is good but not godly good. He has still much to prove. And Nerchio doesnt? What big tournament has he won? I mean Puma did win NASL, taking out Ret, Squirtle, July and MC in the grand finals. Oh and he went through the open bracket full of Korean pro's too. Puma has proved way more than Nerchio has. This isn't me calling Nerchio bad, but he has more to prove than Puma. lol http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Nerchiowatch achievements he said BIG TOURNAMENT http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Dailymotion_Cup
its not listed here

It is not much, but watching or buying a ticket every week to follow almost everything can be expensive after some time

Is SC going to be on side stream?

No, the first two matches will be played on the main stream/stage after the LoL match.

LoL looks like a fun game, but it's kinda hard to follow for a noob like me ;-)

While I agree that the Koreans made NASL more of a high end tournament than any of those mentioned in Nerchio's profile, I still don't see why people believe matches played at a LAN are more legit than those played online. Personally, I don't take the stage or the setting into consideration when it comes to measuring a players skill or the significance of a particular game. Of course I love LAN:s, it's good for eSports, also it can be interesting to see how players handle their nerves. Still, as long as the conditions are equal for the players in an online setting (i.e. acceptable ping etc.) I think it's just as legit. Being able to play at home, in a comfortable environment, ought to bring out the best in everyone.

guys watch SPL if you are not interested in LoL like me, SC:bw is interesting to watch imo. can't stand watching dota/hon/lol/dota2, though i played dota and hon (which was fun)
aw forgot GSTL is running now too.

Of course being at home should bring out the best in everyone, thats what makes LANs so great and difficult.
