So comparing the two is ridiculous in some ways because it becomes another "Apple vs Orange" dilemma that doesn't give an accurate solution.
The funny thing is that LoL players "never" discuss SC2 unless it's brought up by SC2 players. They just don't care at all, they don't care about how insecure SC2 players are about their game not breaking new viewership records every tournament, they don't care about some race completely dominating every single tournament, they don't care about some stupid strategy being used over and over, they don't care about anything sc2 related and they 200% do not care what a bunch of elitist think about their game being easier to pick up.
LoL discussions are about how much they enjoy the game or how to deal with certain things like "x hero vs y hero" or "should I get this item?" or about how exciting the current game they're watching is. Don't know why people have to hate on something that is actually going to keep a dying industry alive within the next few years so we can actually have sc2 tournaments, because sc2 is not doing nearly as much for esports as LoL is, not even close at all.
It's interesting that you should say that, because it seems to me that every "SC2 is a better/harder/more competitive/has more viewers esport than LoL" conversation is brought about by a troll saying that LoL is better... on a starcraft forum. Most people seem not to care untill they are challenged.

God, this is a thread about 3 extremely awesome players maybe coming back to Sc2 and you guys are still whining about Starcraft vs LoL. None gives a fuck about this shit. sC, Coca and Puzzle might come back
Be happy, unthankful pricks. We don't get news as good as this one every day.

This is really similar to the BW vs SC2 stuff, I almost "NEVER" saw it but people were complaining about it non-stop.
"oh it's the other side coming in to troll us" every single time was the excuse

great to see them come back. maybe LoL isnt the holy grail of mediocre wannabe-progamers after all...
A korean lolplayer that was asked about the SC2 players actually elaborated on why none of them are successful.
They have a 1v1 mindset, and because of that have a huge difficulty transitioning to League. No matter how much LoL haters want to say it's an easy game. If it was, you'd see more people able to compete on the pro level.
I always liked Puzzle's ID. He seems like a cool guy.
That was Locodoco.
I think that's the hardest part of switching from SC2 to LoL/Dota: playing in harmony with 4 other people.

They didn't the last time they were playing SC2 actively and KeSPA players are playing way better now. Puzzle even said that with all the elephants coming into view on the horizon he might quit SC2 altogether (which he did).

give them a few months, with the skills they picked up from lol it is them that will be the new elephants in the room
I'm skeptical Coca can regain the form people in this thread seem to think he had. But we'll see, a lot will depend on where he ends up of course.
I'm more interested to see how Puzzle will do with some real Protoss teammates (sorry, Alicia didn't count, cuz he was pretty bad when Puzzle was doing well).
From what I recall, Puzzle had good micro and played about as standard as possible in all match-ups and was terrible at PvP, which to me screams he had no Protoss help.
