I wonder how many people still care about retirements and switches like this. It´s happening so often nowadays. It´s not like inori was a fan favorite or something. I just wonder if this should be frontpage news, still. I´d say it´s time for a poll.

i knew it! As soon as i saw the word retire, the first thing that popped in my head was 'league of legends'.

About the numbers and all, i am the only one that find LoL tournaments viewer count really shitty? (shitty as in if i was riot i'd be ashamed of myself that is).
Claiming an over 35 millions active players base and, while having an embed video player in the client for every event they have and ONLY geting twice the numbers of sc2 seems pretty ridiculous, considering the sc2 player base is something around 9/10 times smaller.. (not forgetting the fact that the prize money for LoL tournaments come mostly directly from riot himself)

on topic : Good luck to him, even if i gotta admit i've never heard much of him ;D

with SC2 for Koreans, it's mostly needing to win tournaments or consistently placing high to earn some income

with LoL, it has the potentially of at least supporting teams via contracts like BW since LoL is blowing up in Korea. in the OGN LoL tournament pre-final matches, LoL draws audience sizes as big if not bigger than recent GSL finals.

while KESPA teams are currently paying their SC2 players salaries still, I think a lot is going to change when more and more players start to have their contracts expire and KESPA teams needing to seriously evaluate their market exposure and potential ROI.

SC2 just isn't big in Korea, and SC2 needs a lot more multitask and micro injected into it to make it become a better spectator game. unfortunately, it's really up to Blizzard to make the necessary changes.


You have no idea what you are talking about in the last part at least that is not why LoL has more viewers than SC2.


No its not, its just that blizzard completely failed making sc2, its even boring to watch the tournaments atm

and no im not an LoL player

that part is directed solely at SC2 and not related to LoL at all

you really like the death ball style in many SC2 games along with anti-micro abilities like fungal and FF?


ok really. if we are going to compare the games. LoL is so bad. the fights are over in seconds, the game is full of stuns, blocks, etc that limits players way worse then any fungal / ff.

Black ops 2 just sold over half a BILLION dollars in 24 hours. so given the current climate on sc2, that must mean black ops 2 is the best game.

case closed.

When will people realize its not the size of your community, but the quality of it.
Riot please take more scrubs away from sc2, we really dont want/need them.

bring back weapon of choice for hots!

That sad to see Inori retire, but that's normal after so many BW Kespa players switching to SC2.

Overall, SC2 is not losing players, and it's ridiculous to see that lolers are happy to see player who fail switch to their game.

There is a high chance that his APM don't help him on league, and with a so small skill cap (like Ocelotte or other lol pro said) there is so little chance that he find a good team and continue progaming.

I hope there will be more tournament in korea though in the future.

The fuck are you even doing here then? You obviously don't know what you're talking about and you have no interest in actually playing the game or watching the game so why are you wasting everyone's time shitting up the retirement thread of a player? Jeez.

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.


This is so well said.

but isn't LoL bigger? it's also a team sport which is harder in other ways because there are more things that are out of your control.

Let's answer this question with some logic. Btw: You could have answered this question on your own. So... he leaves starcraft because he feels his skills aren't high enough to win major tournaments in SC2, so he switches to LoL.. that thing alone answers your question.

Another thing: Why is LoL bigger? Because it's easier and way more newby-friendly than a game like starcraft, because LoL is extreeeeemely easy to learn and the skillgap on the other hand isn't very high either, so it's easier to reach the top tier there.

Sad to see all these players go to LoL. If they change to these "moba" games they should switch to DotA.

People inside this forum will say no, because they are heavy fanboys, so I advise you to not believe anyone and just try LoL yourself and find if this is true or not.


I think it's quite sad that because some people have come to the conclusion that Starcraft is the only game people should ever play. League of Legends is a great game in many ways, and like others, has a great competetive scene. I think it's funny when people say LoL is easy at the top level, or dismiss is as being a challenge. The fact that you're competing against the best in the world is a challenge no matter what.

In a lot of peoples assesment of LoL and Starcraft, they say that LoL is easy because there's not as much to do. You only control one hero, instead of an entire army AND managing a base while microing fights. Sure, it might be easier, but at the top level it's the same as everything else. Take darts for example. Looks easy you might say? Then why can't every single person hit 180 every single time.

Every sport/game whatever you want to call it, is difficult in it's own ways. If you don't accept that, you're narrow minded in my opinion. Everything comes with it's own difficulties.
