I don't quite get why you would annouce these "I'm switching to LoL" statements..

It's like Football player switching Basket Ball... Just because you were good in one sport doesn't mean that it will translate directly to the next.

Just say you retire from SC2, try the game out and maybe you are gonna be good. I just feel that this statement implies that you are guaranteed do be succesful in something that is very different from what you did well in.

Poor Inori. He never did manage to get that win. Seems like a reasonable decision to switch, but I am not sure if he should expect to make it very far in a possibly even more saturated scene.

Well duh, when you have no results in over a year yeah you should switch games. It's why destiny switched, he hasn't had any good results in sc2 like ever (I am not counting show matches/online tournaments), every pro/semi pro that has retired has not had results in a year +.

Still hilarious how people say this means sc2 is dying because pros who don't have results in a year retire lol.


Good luck to inori!


To be fair CoCa and Puzzle were quite good at this game, lol.

min/coca/puzzle/sc haven't made a splash at all yet. remember the bw players brave and grape who quit khan to play league? non-existent.

Its Karma. And wow Grape moved to league? When? He seemed like a promising BW player at the time.

SC2 is just a badly designed game.
That's why no one will ever "dominate" the scene completely.

They were but notice they didn't have results in the past year. Coca never really recovered from when slayers forced him out of GSL.

Puzzle I am semi surprised but I imagine his switch had a lot to due with slayers disbanding and not wanting to bother finding a team since he wouldn't be playing in GSTL or going to foreign events. Dunno puzzle is the only one I was really surprised at.

As if LoL was masterfully designed... come on. It's just more popular because it's free to play and appeals to the lowest common denominator of the gaming community, skillfully talking, just a few steps above Facebook games and right there with WoW.

Did you know Flash wouldn't have dominated the scene if there were as many tournaments as in sc2? It would be physically impossible to do this. People like you seem to forget that, playing 2 tournaments + proleague was taxing to the players in bw who played in MSL/OSL and proleague (before MSL was gone). If they had to do travel AND play in lots of foreign tournaments I can bet you anything Flash wouldn't have looked as dominant as he was.

Hard to have a dominate figure when there are major tournaments a couple weeks every month it seems ^^.

Imo, this is the real "elephant in the room". I think something drastic has to happen in order for SCII to catch back up to LoL. I'm really concerned about the recent development...

Gl in the futur Inori but I don't think making money in LoL will be easier than in Sc2. He should completely retire and go back to casual gaming.

LoL is no competition of sc2... other than perhaps gaining sponsorships, which doesn't seem like a problem atm at all.

People don't understand it's a different genre or something? And one that will have more players due to the fact that rts games are harder to get into than any other genre, that's a simple fact.

Especially these days where people want everything simplified, hence running around with 1 unit that can do shiny stuff is more appealing than managing a complete base and army.

Inori has a grand total of 0 wins all time in the GSL, he's an irrelevant player and of course he's going to be phased out and forced to retire eventually. What he does after he retires doesn't matter, he thinks he has a shot at LoL? Go ahead and try but like GTR mentioned It's just as hard to break out in LoL as it is in sc2.

It's because of the Kespa players moving in, leaving less room for players like Inori in the GSL every season. Expect many more retirements in the coming months.

They're not retiring because the game is dying, they are retiring because they can't be successful and it makes no sense to continue trying.

I think you would be surprised how good children are at gaming, in sc2 as well. They seem to adapt significantly faster than we "old" people do.
