Definitely a good decision by Select considering he was always a good player at SC2. WCS definitely helps and is a good incentive for him to return (now that he has more chances to win).

Don't know why he decided to comeback but I am glad anyway.


The best part of 1v1 game is that you can show your skills better and not be blamed by everything from keyboard warriors on the internet as much. I remember reading a few posts in the Dota 2 forums and seen a decent amount of insults and negativity towards him for some reason (of course it may be a minority I only read a few posts of a thread).

Bye bye please stay out of dota2 now.


See, these types of comments is what I don't get and is what is not giving me a good impression of the MOBA community. SC2 may have its haters but outside a few exceptions (and some situations, like foreigners getting seeds into GSL), the SC2 community treats its players well. Even players that gained a bit of infamy (like the Terran Rain) all were respected, especially when they left the scene (I remember reading the Rain retiring thread and nearly every single comment gave him respect and wished him fair well with almost no one hating on him).

Not a surprise really, he stated he left Qpad yesterday and he hadn't played Dota for three days. I guess the mindset required for MOBAs just doesn't fit the mindset of RTS gamers, as we have seen in CoCa, Puzzle and sC. Glad to see SeleCT return to the scene.


You realize he played DotA before SC2 right?


Yes, he played WC3 DotA before SC2 (when he retired from SC2, he also mentioned that he played Dota before SC2, and just wanted to return to the scene). He did decently in Dota before, so it's not like he wasn't used to it before.

I say it's not the case of mindset for MOBAs but the fact that being good at 1v1 games is more rewarding than being good at team games.

No matter how good you are, you are still limited because it's a team game (team coordination impacts the game way more than what individual skill can make up for in most cases).

And again, if you are a decent player in a game (enough to make it far in tournaments consistently) than you might as well stay playing the same game unless you don't enjoy it as much as another. Coca and Puzzle and sC all returned to SC2 (despite the huge break) as good players still (Coca and Puzzle owning the group stages and making it to the play offs at Dreamhack, despite only returning to HotS for like a month or 2) and sC owning it up in the GSTL a decent amount of times. Seems like Select is doing just as well too making it to

Dota2 and LoL aren't as easy as they seem huh SeleCT. ^-^


Again, he played Dota professionally before SC2, probably even before most are playing Dota right now. Plus, just because you don't succeed in the game, doesn't mean it's harder (especially if it's a team game where your individual skill doesn't have as much impact in the game as team coordination).

I dont see why Liquid wouldn't pick him up. Lacking Terrans, he's a nice guy, gel with both the SC2 and Dota teams and is a good community figure.

Finally, didn't like his switch to dota...I think the actual SeleCT is better in a game where the results only depend on his own skill. Plus that the moba-communities are allways full of haters (looks like)... reminds me of football/soccer in Germany, the sport is nice. But most of the fans suck .

PS: Funny ppl in here that are actually kinda implying a moba is (skill/mechanical wise for each player) more difficult to play than an RTS. Funny, really!

I don't often watch Terran players outside of tournaments, but SeleCT was one of the few I did. Really happy to hear he'll be playing again.

My theory for people who game hop different competitive games all the time are the type of players who learn fast and get good quick. So with new games there is the largest skill gap and opportunity for them to win money or just be a top player, and when they stick around in a scene too long other people catch up and surpass them so they move along to a new game. Is this the cast with Select? (or even partly?)

More rewarding? It really depends on the person. I really enjoy the team aspect of Dota 2, playing with friends, executing cool stuff and strats as a team, and so on.

You need a different skillset for both games, and I like them both, but playing Dota can be really rewarding in a different way than starcraft.
