Very sad to see that people care more about casual games rather then games that inspire true skill and dedication
That attitude is exactly why MOBA games have a shitty reputation for elitist attitude. Obviously people are enjoying watching LoL so there's nothing wrong with that at all. I don't like MOBAs but I certainly don't care if others like them and I'm not going to bicker over which is harder.
Doesn't change the truth man, people switch from SC2 over to Lol specifically because its so much easier to experience success, and theirs a huge social aspect which allows for individuals to shift the blame onto team mates instead of themselves. Call it elitism if you want but I just find it baffling that people can watch such a hollow game as opposed to much better games such as Dota (Way better then Lol by a longshot) and SC.
I see your SC2 elitism and raise you BW elitism.
Seriously. Don't drag this thread into a SC2 vs LoL debate.
Who cares about SC2 vs LoL. What we should be talking about is LoL audience vs SC2 audience. The audience just isn't getting into the games for whatever reason. They haven't been horrible. It's probably because most of the games have just been Korean vs Korean and people just want to have that foreigner vs korean story line.
Whether a crowd is loud or not shouldn't really matter, what is important is people filling the seats. Judging from yesterday, there were a lot of empty seats and even today it doesn't seem really like the typical MLG crowd I've come to expect since 2011.

If you come to watch sc2 tournaments so you can pump your chest about the crowd and the scene and not actually take a objective look at the quality of the games than I advise you to stop watching and wasting your time. For sc2 championship sunday is where its at.
Exactly... it's almost like people are just losing faith... not much has changed! you just need to keep being optimistic.

Or the SC2 hasn't been into it for a while now. This event it is LoL crowd destroying the SC2 crowd. Last event the Halo crowd made the SC2 one look bad. It's nothing new.
SC2 crowd is actually bigger. It's just that they are not loud.
Who was talking about size? I'm talking about intensity. Halo crowd made SC2 crowd look bad. LoL is doing the same. That's the whole point of this.

Definitely doesn't look bigger to me, I just miss the crowd that we had at the finals last year when literally every seat in the venue was filled with Starcraft 2 spectators.
