Because LoL is awful to watch


That's why it had over 100k viewers. Must be terrible to watch.

I prefer watching DOTA2 to LoL mostly because the DOTA2 graphics are much nicer to look at.

As someone who's into a lot of other games I don't agree that people are intolerant, it's just that MOBA games aren't very exciting to watch.


That's your opinion. I personally don't find Starcraft very exciting to watch anymore.

You know that they need to set up the SC2 gear? So they'll use that 15 min to do the LoL Interviews.

Why do you guys hate any game not called Sc2? I don't get it.


Perhaps it's because this finals was meant to start 2 hours ago and in Australia instead of the finals starting at 12pm and going until ~3am, it is starting at 2am and finishing ~5am.

That and the delay is directly attributable to LoL's networking problems.
Well, the tomato's an anomaly. So successful with the ketchup and the sauce, but you can't find a good one.

Because it's in the time sc2 was supposed to be on :d.



So people are only complaining about lol if it cuts into sc2 time??......yea right -.-

I played Dota and wasn't very good, didn't really think it was interesting to watch at all mainly because I didn't understand it too much. Lol looks even more hard to follow because of the excessive use of colour and just doesn't seem to make sense. SC1 and SC2 are the only games I know where someone that doesn't even play RTS's watch. My friend doesn't have either game and finds both amazing spectator sports, and even though he lacks basic knowledge of the game. Stuff like "he is using the banelings to try and take out the marines so the mutas can clean up the rest" is far more simple than whatever complicated stuff is going on the Lol stream.

Are you SERIOUSLY trying to say that LoL is bad to watch because it's complicated whereas BW and SC2 are simple? No one that doesn't at least understand the subtleties of BW or SC2 would ever enjoy watching the fully.

No fucking wonder people always say shit like, "oh BW is boring because it's the same builds all the time" or something stupid like that. Watching SC without understanding it through playing and studying is always going to get boring superfast because all you're going to be looking are at the stuff that makes you "ooh" and "ahh".

So goddamned asinine.

I live in Canada and these stream commercials are annoying! For the past few months I get nothing but cleaning product commercials for the 40 year old stay at home mom/dad.

If I'm going to be watching commercials. can't it be for something that I actually find interesting and might buy?


Would you prefer some American commercials?

I think not : /

Well I dont know about LOL but in DOTA there was a lot of skill involved and its a deep and hard game to play really well in terms of teams and counter picking. That being said its more boring to watch then starcraft 2.

1.5 mil concurrent viewers on the first day kinda proves that point.

I have a question, I keep hearing that LoL is breaking all the records from the Mobaa crowd, but has LoL ever been featured in a tournament. I get the idea that they have been piggy-backing, gathering views of other game fans that are waiting for their game to start.
In other words, would LoL be able to feature in their own tournament and get the numbers they have been claiming?

Just asking as I'm curious and not a Mobaa player/spectator.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

I'm sure if IEM wanted to they would just troll everyone and delay SC2 until 8:30pm Cologne time!
