I think it is harder to break into the LoL scene because you need to get into a team. So a player like Destiny would need some serious connections with his current skill/knowledge. I am actually surprised there isn`t a lot more players retiring. Inori retiring doesn`t mean a damn thing other than him realizing he is making no impact on the sc2 scene and doesn`t seem himself doing so in the near future. | ||

Even if LoL is bigger than SC2 (and it definitely is in Korea, don't know about outside, probably depends on how you measure success), what does that mean? We only have room for one game and the only metric of success is size? Football, boxing and formula 1 are also bigger, but that does not mean SC2 is dead. I see it as quite natural that we should have competitive titles in MOBA, RTS and FPS at the same time since while the audiences overlap, they are not identical and some people watch multiple titles. Furthermore it is impossible to say that SC2 or LoL is harder. If one was considerably harder than the other, people would switch to the easier title for easy money and fame. As long as the skill ceilling isn't reached (and it won't ever be in either game) there will naturally be a pretty even difficulty for the two games. Of course the kinds of skills required are slightly different, but so what? One requires team work, one may require a bit more mental attention and reflexes, but overall they are of the same difficulty. | ||

He clearly is not succeeding in SC2 so he wanted to quit, so as a last desperate hope he tries LoL, because what other options does he really have? He either do this or go live a "regular" life (army, studies, or work). It has nothing to do with him feeling bigger than SC2, in fact quite the opposite. He is not able to cut it in the SC2 scene.

MOBA games take 15 eAPM and alot of teamspeak screaming at the pro level. You also control 1/5 of your team's resources. It's like a watered down Warcraft III and please, just please don't tell me you think controlling a hero with 4 spells in 5v5 is harder than controlling the same hero along with the rest of your army/economy/production. Anyways, lol@ppl calling SC2 death because some non-factor players switch over to another game. I'd start worrying if the likes of Mvp switch over, not people who can't qualify for Code A anymore. | ||

While LoL is "easy" mechanically, there's lots of decision making done and it's hard to be good by just doing that because decision making is one of the hardest things to learn in any game. When decision making/awareness are the main factor consisting of your skill, it will be hard to innovate and stand out(imo). GL Inori. | ||
