That was expected. Starcraft is way too competitive for the average foreigner to ever achieve something remotely significant. Dota is better suited to him, so good move.

Wow, seems that Dota 2 gets a nice new player, i am curios when he will betoplevel there after only joining Dota2 right now.

Sad that i don´t like Dota, but for select it has been the right decision, he wasn´t very good recentlly in Sc2.

Made the right choice to switch to dota 2. Good stuff and good luck... stay away from the dying sc2


SC2's viewership to me looks like it's been the same as it's always been. Big tournies get anywhere from 20-100k, and streamers get anywhere from 1-10k. Just because League has much more doesn't mean SC2 has to as well. SC2 is too complex for today's casuals to learn. Sadly, games with complexity and depth like SC2 are becoming a niche as easy games like League and Call of Duty become more popular. That's why SC2 has become about as big as it's gonna get and it'll probably stay that way, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.


What's so complex and deep about deathballs mowing each other down? People are quitting SC2 because it lacks complexity and depth, and most of all, it isn't fun. Also, fun doesn't mean easy, look at Brood War, it was one of the most fun games ever, need I say more?

Yay SeleCT in D2!!

Anyone know if this means he's forfeiting his NASL results? He's doing so well in his group...

With the exception of a few Koreans, most of the players that are quitting are doing to because they are at best average and usually mediocre at the game.

Are you sure you didn't retire because of that twitter dispute with IdrA?
... In all seriousness though, a second place and a third place at MLG along with a first place at NA Battle.net Invitational 2011 and several trillion online cup wins is nothing to be ashamed of. Best of luck with DotA2!

I always liked SeleCT as a player but that statement gave me a quitter-vibe. Sure he admits he cannot compete with the top koreans but first he talks about getting too old for RTS games and then starting pro-Dota, I don't like it. How is Dota gonna be any different if he already said the practice regime was the problem?

Sour taste aside, GL with whatever you decide to do. Finishing college sounds smart to me.


Dota 2 is way less mechanically/multitasking oriented.. You got a quitter-vibe because he is fact, quitting the game of sc2.
