I doubt SC2 will catch up anytime soon. Blizzard had its chance, but they crushed it (esp. in Korea). I like watching LoL because it isn't like SC2 where it becomes a 30+ minute farmfest then one big fight GG or a cheese game that takes around 8 minutes. Plus its a team game, whereas SC2 is purely a solo game. Even as a teamleague. Seeing team synergy in LoL is kind of thrilling~ If you haven't noticed LoL is getting EVERY popular in Korea now, OGN is hosting tournaments and hosting them on TV. In PC cafes I believe is it on the top 10 list and SC2 isn't even on there... which is odd | ||

SC2 viewerbase is growing fast, not jsut people who play the game but alot of people who dont, youll never walk into a bar and see LoL on the screen anytime soon Um SC2's viewerbase has actually shrunk considerably. And LoL has already started working on several barcrafts http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=12923085 Please don't make up stuff, I don't like LoL that much either, but to shit on it or to lie about it isn't cool. | ||

I don't know, it's nice to see them continue on in and as MOBA is such a new esport, some old BW hands will bring some welcome experience. | ||

Just read your sentence yourself again. You have "teammates" thats the problem. You are not 1v1, its 5v5. Lets say you are beast-mode, killing people left and right but the other four on your team are doing some stupid shit. You still lose. Many people on this thread seems to really look down upon LoL. Its not hard to play, I can eat my breakfast, watch some TV while play LoL. But you still needs alot of practice and skill in teamwork and decision making. What I heard from a Korean friend, LoL is on fire in Korea right now after Riot establish KR server just a few month back. So goodluck to FD!!! | ||

I'm guessing you haven't heard of DotA then. It has been, and still is, an esport (mainly in China now, but lets be honest now they can pretty much fuel any esport they want with the resources they have). | ||

Mainstream MOBA popularity and growth is new to E-Sports. To say that DOTA has recieved anywhere near as much exposure as either DOTA2 or LoL is wrong. It's nice that ESports can actually act as complementary goods. SC2 fans can watch LoL at tournaments, visa vi. On topic: Grats to FruitDealer! I'll look forward to seeing his team on the pro circuit. | ||

I don't think the coaches will focus too much on gameplay and stuff like that. Maybe a bit of strategy planning and scouting, but mainly the logistics behind the team. They have to make sure the players are organized enough to practice (scrims) and get everyone together for the offline tournaments (OGN). They're also there to calm the players down between matches since they have more stage experience (think Tyler/Huk at DH?) | ||
