Yeah, but is there actually an established professional LoL scene? To me it seems like that the LoL scene is basically completely reliant on Riot and I didn't hear if they actually have organizations like the Gom, ESF, Kespa. To me it always looked like that SC2 has still the biggest competitive scene while LoL and Dota2 have bigger casual scenes. Edit: Of course there is professional LoL scene, but is it actually this huge that they can support more and more players switching to LoL and demanding salaries and stuff? | ||

But does LoL have many non-Riot tournaments? Because i could see SC2 getting sponsorships easier because it needs a much better PC to run it well. Either way, it's a different type of game, a move from SC2 to LoL or Dota 2 is pretty big and i don't see many of those succeed, because before all you need a well working team chemistry and not that much individual skill (besides knowing all the champs/heroes). On topic: I believe PartinG will go through for sure, beside that probably Shine or Trap. Would like to see Keen though. | ||

They play like 10h a day, they don't practice less. It's hard to compare how difficult it is tbh, yea mechanically it's easy compared to sc2, but it's certainly not easy to orchestrate a teamfight properly etc. More fun? That's completely subjective. Due to sc2's current metagame I prefer playing LoL myself, but sc2 used to be more fun before "things". | ||

Whatever, they're definitely in the same region. | ||

I thought they just have a few really huge ones | ||

MLG's LOL tournament was on the minor side, think about IEMs, IPLs, OSLOLs not to mention the $1million grand prize main tournament riot held itself | ||
