Lol. I thought all of them were/are? code S

Code S doesn't mean you can hang with one of the best players in the world.

JYP still has some mean PvZ, give him some credit

I give credit to JYP's PvZ but Stephano has an overwhelming record vs JYP and he barely ever loses in that MU.

the only one of those players who really had a chance to beat him was polt and polt blew it, the other guys are no where near top players.

Wait, people still make excuses for Stephano wrecking shit?

IdrA holds after Tails blinking into main and warping in sentries in IdrA's main. Is at roughly double supply.

Tails tries to take a third. Loses a large portion of his army defending it.

Grubby got a mothership. Golden had very little anti-air and detection. Grubby rolled across the map into his base, GG.

Thanks.

Stream has been pretty good for me this MLG, but every time it froze or crashed was during the most exciting part of the games, and never during an interview or such.

Every single Terran in the pools is doing terribly except MKP.

Yeah, Korean code A/S-players are pretty much scraped up from the bottom of the pool.

I hate to be that elitist guy but it really bugs me to see such a bad game (League of Legends) getting much more attention then a game such as Starcraft 2 which League cant even hope to rival in terms of raw skill, By the looks of things League is just going to keep getting bigger and bigger leaving less room for Starcraft 2 in both Korea and NA.

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.

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.

after following sc2 and be for years, I've recently gotten into LoL. And its actually really fun to watch. The guy saying the skill required isn't high has obviously not played it. Its hard to compare the two games really.

I played LoL seriously for over a year, so this is just my experience... after the initial buzz wears off, and/or if you quit LoL, you won't be able to watch it. It's actually just not that good of a spectator sport. And the skill required isn't high mechanically, there's just not as much to do (though you do have the other dimension of dealing with teammates, etc.) There's less awe of watching pros, and it gets kind of boring. Meanwhile, most of the people watching SC2 probably don't even play anymore. (There are exceptions, like M5's old playstyle, etc.)

I love playing LoL but as much as its fun to play it just doesnt give me that rush to watch. Ive tried countless times out of loyalty but I just cant get into watching it like I can starcraft.
