Its kinda sad LoL didnt change the map at all, even the dragon is on the same place ^^
I mean wtf, how can this become so successful, only because its free?
And the HoN map is exactly the same as well, ridiculous^^
Only ~4000 viewers though, seems like the only ones watching it are the ones waiting for sc2 action

LOL @ the "Puma's never won anything if you take away that major thing that he won" argument. Michael Jordan was a terrible basketball player if you take away his jumping ability (sarcasm). Pretty sure winning NASL against the best players in the world in SC2's first year of existence is a pretty big deal. It's a big deal, but claiming him to be a top Korean from one accomplishment is silly. He beat Ret, July, and Squirtle before the finals. July isn't a top tier Korean, and Squirtle definitely is not and beating a foreigner is expected of most Koreans. He beat MC 4-3, impressive, but MC has been struggling. Also, from watching his play at IEM I have to say it's quite sloppy compared to MvP/Bomber/MMA. Do you honestly think Any of those 3 would drop a game to Stephano or lose to Mana (though both are great players). Puma is overrated and overrhyped, here's hoping for him to prove us wrong. I wouldn't call Puma a top Korean but he's definitely good enough to be feared by MC. Before the NASL finals MC said in an interview that he would win as long as he avoided puma...
I would agree that Puma has yet to show us more but it's not too far stretched to assume he's a beast and we will see a lot more of him.

Hmm LoL is fun to play but this is horrible to watch.
Watching the top 2 Euro teams, this was almost expected to become a farm off. Its no match for the 90+ minute opener dota2 had. If anyone wants to talk more about the LoL game. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=255732 go go.

They do have their own stream on own3d.tv that has like 45k viewers atm though.
edit: so beaten.... like 10 times.

Yep haha, theres 50k people watching lol. Im actually watching lol over gstl, this match is fucking awesome. GO GO FNATIC <3 <3

I find it odd that so many people watch lol. I've met plenty of strangers that play SC2, but i've never met anyone that plays or watches lol.
Where are most of the viewers from?
|
I enjoy IEM so much more than the last one(where Ace won), I think they've really upped their game. The highlight videos are a sound initiative, the streams are pretty good, lots of different games, GREAT games with GREAT players.
The only thing I'm sort of annoyed with is the chemistry between Rotterdam and Mr Britter. It's... not too good.

He was a progamer in Brood War. Then he beats three Code S players (including the best protoss in the world) and the EU Blizzcon Invitational champion and wins one of the biggest titles in SC2's first year but you have decided he's overrated. LR threads are a trip man.
