I mean I don't think anyone was really surprised.. There was news of FD playing LoL more than SC2 like months ago. Sucks to lose a part of SC2 history to LoL but I wish him success in whatever he does. FD fighting.

He won GSL Season 1 when Zerg was thought to be the race that was unwinnable with. He did it with a touching story, and he is still remembered from the genesis of SC2.
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Lol SC2 fans bashing LoL with extreme measures. Saying the ceiling of difficulty is lower. Ah, do I enjoy karma.

I think BW fans should embrace the LoL scene, that way if SC2 fans shit on it for being easier, they hold the ultimate trump card. :O

I want to win a GSL, then get drunk, snowboard, and play LoL all the time. Congrats on living the dream FruitDealer!

Smart choice. With the way things are going he could probably do a lot better as a LoL coach than a SC2 player.

he did what no zerg could do and what no zerg should have even been able to do. win as zerg in a tournament setting when kulas ravin (and steppes of war??), CLOSE position LT/Meta/DQ (LOOOOOL DQ) was in the map pool? Also i believe reaper speed was still avail at the tech lab and you could still make a rax before depot (maybe?).

he was the ONLY zerg in the ro8. him and check were the ONLY zergs in ro16. all zergs fell, including thewind, idra, artosis, cella, cezanne, and losira.

fruitdealer will always be the number 1 zerg player winning when winning was impossible.

Thanks for giving this a seperate thread, I would never have found out elsewise.

I've posted my views on LoL extensively elsewhere; suffice to say I don't give it much credence as a competitive strategy game - it's little more than WoW pvp with fewer buttons to push.

However, I am glad FD has a way to make a living in the esports industry since his SC2 skills did not continue to keep up with even the foreigners. Terrible if he ended up as a janitor or something because he gave it all up for the dream.

I mean there may be more honour in cleaning than switching to LoL, but hey a man's gotta eat /joke

Are you implying that e-sports isn´t a field for "real jobs"? On Teamliquid!?

This is a core problem of esports, there will never be a stable game like soccer*futbol*. If no game can last more than 10 years that is a core problem.

I once saw Fruitdealer - in a single game - do all of the following:

A) Force multiple scans with a tunnel-roach drop in the opponent's main
B) Punish an opponent's lack of AA by using Overlord creep-dump to block addons
C) Break a Terran turtle with a Baneling/Ultra bust to win the game

This was in Beta, when every other Zerg was just massing Roach Hydra.

They even hold 1kk prizes, so yes it would...
also less competition



...Huh? Being a LoL pro is equally as hard as being an sc2 pro. You need to practice with a whole team for many hours a day to stay consistent, and most tournaments have prize pools comparable to or less than sc2, except you're splitting it between 5 guys.


LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

User was warned for this post



Huh? Please explain to me how your practice 8 hours a day is any different from lol pros playing 8 hours a day?

Naniwa lives in a house with a LoL team, I'm sure he knows a lot about how hard they practice.


a sub-par one. (comparing to the best)
