The drop in numbers on each individual stream is due to a big increase in number of streams to watch, more tournaments, more and more players deciding to stream. If we had half the streams available, we would have twice the viewers on each stream. Mind blowing, i know. | ||

BabyKnight switched to SC 2 from Dota and has been doing pretty well. BabyKnight seems like the sort of player who just naturally excels at certain kinds of competitive gaming, especially with him being so young. Just gotta hope he sticks with Sc2, though his recent successes would indicate he's not going anywhere. | ||

It is part of most major events. You do realize that DH, MLG, IPL and countless other events aren't being held just because of SC2. While SC2 may be the main stage game (currently) LoL draws in a much larger live crowd, and online viewers. The reason you may never think you see it is because you are just not that into it. The scene is growing because it has a active community, while the SC2 community isn't dying, it most certainly has, and continues to shrink. | ||

Exactly, I couldn't even understand how there could be a fighting games scene but apparently there are. And yet you never hear of it because you're not into it, Esports is still very much underground (except what Korean BW used to be, and currently Korean LoL). | ||

 More people moving to LoL! It's okay though. Competition is tough and best of luck to Inori! | ||

But yeah, people should keep in mind there are other ESports besides SC2, dota, and LoL. Fighting games and such have scenes, LoL is just the one most similar to SC2 (besides DOTA) so people tend to switch to it. | ||

The mechanical skill ceiling is quite low, the game is simple, and the money is vastly easier to get near than other games. | ||

Well, LoL is much more mechanically easy, so at a superficial value it seems easier, which is what draws so many sc2 gamers. However, its difficulties are much more subtle, so in time Inori will probably be a sad panda | ||

The money is just as tough to reach in LoL then in any other game. More players, more teams, more competition. The draw is the fun. LoL is just more fun to play then SC2. If you hated your job woudl you stick with it, or would you find another job? I bet you most players hate this game, but play it cause they think they have too | ||
