You can't just switch from SC to a team game unless you already have a team lined up. Yup, I absolutely think so as well. | ||

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. Are you kidding? You didn't read what I wrote? Yes I think the popular MOBA games are hard, just as SC2 is. There is plenty of money in LoL in Korea so why wouldn't good people switch and raise the level of play if it was this easy? Results are somewhat predictably so obviously there is still an element of skill. Inori was not top notch in SC2, but he was pretty close to the top so by your comments he should dominate in LoL? Plenty of good RTS players already switched and failed. | ||

I'm starting to think the Korean eSports scene is itself over saturated and is in for an implosion. They don't have the sort of international audience that they need to sustain two large scenes, and AFAIK the Korean market itself isn't getting bigger so... Well, one game's gonna have to give, and at the moment I think it's going to be SC 2. Fortunately for them, they have international SC 2 to pick up the slack on a lot of the sponsorship and tournament $ that their own teams and leagues aren't able to provide. But how long is that going to last given the drop in SC 2 viewership across the world? | ||

But as others have pointed out, Inori with no results in SC2 will probably have little to no results in LoL either. Tough scene to break into especially if he's gonna be some solo queue hero. | ||

Blizzard, please fix SC2's E-Sports scene before the game hemorrhages more players to LoL.  | ||

Blizzard, please fix SC2's E-Sports scene before the game hemorrhages more players to LoL. I think people need to fix their definition of what "professional gamer" means. Most, if not all of the players that has quit haven't been playing professionally in leagues or tournaments for at least a year. | ||

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. i use to think that to, till i also switched to LoL.... and the fact that LoL has more players is because its a FREE game. u can just download it and litterraly start playing within an our without paying a cent. league also caters better to casual a ton more than SC2 does currently. maybe that will change, but it takes 2 damn expansions for starcraft to do anything positive with there game. waiting 2 years for content that we should have had out of the box? look at how long it took them to just give us something as simple as chat channels ffs, and when we finnally get it its pretty horrid. ya at some point u have to get fed up with the direction and the current state of the game. the game is also really easy to get into. it only took me 2 days to fully learn the machanics of the game (altho playing moba and dota clone custom games on SC2 also helped with that). u can pretty much get right into the game and start tearing ass with 20/5 kill ratios( or atleast i did). SC2 u start in bronze and u will get ur ass kicked alot before u get anywhere at all. | ||

Look at destiny. He's almost worst than the average pub player. He was getting 3-6k viewers on sc2 back then. Maybe more. He's struggling to get 1k on Lol. A tip is to stick to your strengths. Keep dreaming about playing in million dollar touneys. ever since destiny went back to twitch he is actually getting 2.6k viewers with 1.8k being the norm. when he had that philospher guy on stream it peaked to around 3k. idk what it was about owned but he was only getting 800-1k viewers on owned. also ppl need to realize that SC2 is painful to play. grinding on ladder trying to get rank 1 master seems like a chore. LoL is actually pretty fun to play even competitively. | ||

From what i read on dota forums it never was that popular in korea,they played a map called chaos or something so i don't think they will start to play dota2 and on top of that riot were smart/scared/whatever and launched LoL in China while Dota 2 was still in CB so they pretty much got all the players. | ||
