LoL looks so unimpressive if these are the highlights. Still don't understand how it is such a viewer hit. To be honest I completely fail to understand the hype around lol, and I've played it a lot. Yeah it's free, easy and spamming spells might be fun for few months. Actually something was funny when everybody in LR was whining about broodlords infestors being boring, and saying that's why LoL was more attractive. Well, in a LoL game nothing happens, just 10 dudes last hitting creeps. And in the end you have impressive score like 12-6 in 30 minutes. This is the real boredom. I don't get it. LoL (beside skill ceiling)feel empty, long and there isn't real possibility of coming back. It's just pale near Dota 2 or Sc2. And I don't even want to compare it to BW or Quake. Basically agreed with what you said. But comebacks are more likely to happen in LOL. Comebacks being more likely to happen isn't exactly a good thing. Them being rare is what makes them special. I think it really depends. Just look at Dota games for example, if one team are getting denied in early farm for too long, the game is basically a slow and painful death. And the game might just be really one sided all the way till finish (and the game usually lasts like 40 mins+) Having a BIGGER chance to come back means that we can always expect the game to change and we all waiting for that moment and see how it all reveals But simply the graphics is what I don't understand. The animations look so weird, to me it's like everyone is slowly wobbling over the screen in LoL. I think anyone can watch 'the play'' bij Navi from Dota2 and even though they don't have a clue what is going on, it will still look impressive. But with LoL highlights I don't get that vibe at all.
You need to play a lot. You need to understand which effect every spell has. The spells don't speak by themselves. Their design is focused on create impact and express power/awesomeness. SC2 is a more elegant, though. A LOT more elegant.
SC2 needs exposure. You actually don't need to play a lot to enjoy watching. I have friends that played only the campaign and a few multiplayer games, but it still watch some tournaments. LoL doesn't have this. Everyone watching pretty much plays a lot.

I know the schedule has kind of gone to shit but are they going to be taking a break after this game? I have things to do but don't want to miss Mvp vs Mana.

Probably not, they just had a break.

I hope they pause to talk more about playing RTS games with just your eyes, and show more commercials about how you can't win StarCraft by yourself.

Haha, would be so funny if every time you lost on 1v1 ladder you would get a popup with that guy saying: "You can't win by yourself! '" 2v2 would become the new best mode.

Not even Tod knows what's up :D

First didn't punish that greed at all, and his unit control was awful.

Because stimmed marines and marauders with medivac support absolutely obliterates stalkers and zealots.

Bad game, the best part for me was ToD pronunciating Oracle.

Extreme greed is not a good idea to continue if scouted so early.

Because you can't get eco, tech and army all at once. A good timing push should usually punish that.
