When I watched my first SC2 match I had never played the game before and I got hooked immediately to it. When I watched my first LoL match I actually fell asleep.
People like different things.

I feel like it'd be a waste of time to watch the Zenio/Mana games. Mana has really bad PvZ and I doubt he'll be able to hold Zenio's cheesy play.

So Feast is about to play Kas again now I guess.

Look how many viewers ESL LoL has. I'm sure alot of them came on LoL today (or yesterday) and saw that a tournament was on and decided to watch. SC2 tournaments could have way higher viewership (besides maybe GSL, they have pretty good viewership) if they would just embed the tournaments into the sc2 client -_- I agree. They could really do more to support the community. But who's to say what tournaments should be on the front page? If you say HSC, Assembly, DreamHack, MLG, GSL, IPL, TSL, NASL and IEM, who's to say that larger scale local tournaments shouldn't be recognized aswell? Copenhagen Games had MC, Kas, TheWind, MorroW, TLO, Ret, Grubby, MaNa and such players. Where would you draw the line? It would seem unfair to the ones just below the bar Just have a Calendar like in the sidebar on TL so people can choose. It seriously annoys me how blizzard is profiting so much from the esports scene but giving barely anything back. Support for tournaments, resume feature,...
eh, I feel Sc2 is on the decline. The vast majority of Blizzard's SC2 profits have come from game sales, and will come from HOTS sales in the future.
Also, WoW is their big money maker and D III is one of the most hyped games in the past decade.
I don't think Blizzard really sees incentive in dedicating too much to supporting esports.

It would be hilarious if Elfi got the title purely by pvp'ing his way up

I don't knock him for it, I just don't feel like watching Hydra Ling destroy stargate builds.

I don't really see an easy way for him to draw only protoss players. But he could maybe hit the quarter or even semifinals with some luck. Eventually most protoss players will often fall. Especially if drawing MMA or some other super strong vP players
|
Zenio also has a sick baneling bust that never loses because he takes a 3rd base and protoss feels safe.

Year absolutely right, but while LoL is easy to pick up for a noob and play and get some wins even if you play for the first time in your life, SC is much, much harder.
I'd say this: SC - impossibly difficult(u need to study build orders, practice macro), but fun to watch LoL - must be the easiest game you can find, but very boring to watch

poor kas he was up 50 supply, all the army of Feast except 4-5 HT (not spredded out) was hit by emp.. he was in such a good position and now he has to regame
|
Damn Idra already lost against Real...how is he still so bad at ZvP when there's so many people to learn from who are way better at the matchup.
|
streams, casters and random games all over the shop, i'm lost
|
Prediction: All foreign terrans end last in their groups (Kas perhaps second last to Idra.)

Chances are pretty slim they'll meet before the finals, if I read the tournament setup right, though

well LoL has 3 times the viewers of every SC2 stream combined right now so I don't think too many people find it "very boring to watch"
