I don't find your comment amusing in the slightest. He suggested an obviously simple form of helping, but at least he suggested something. | ||

Only thing I check is OP and latest post for the discussion and lulz. To me, live reports don't contribute to the game and its amusement whatsoever. Plus if I was to write a LR, that means I'm not enjoying the game as much as I could be because I have to divert my attention from watching the cast to doing something else. Granted, I'm usually doing something else anyways when games are streaming. | ||

Granted, I'm usually doing something else anyways when games are streaming. A lot of people ask for LRs because they can't watch the games and want to know what is happening. Either they are at work or they can't watch a stream at the time. Just because you find them 'boring' doesn't mean they aren't important contributions to the scene :p And not enjoying the games while LRing just makes it even more impressive that Shellbot and The_Templar, and others, so willingly do it. If only we all had that kind of productive dedication and love for the game. | ||

You seem to have no problem accepting and believing in what you do, yet you have no capacity for other's view. Double standard no? | ||

I'm now confused. They have a successful SC2 team (7 players in premier league S3), they have a successful LoL team who won a championship and has many sponsors, but they are in the process of selling their successful LoL team and instead pick up a DOTA2 squad which may or may not do well? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep their successful LoL team and build a DOTA2 team on the side to perhaps have three successful eSports teams? Or is this like when people do start ups and intend to sell it off for a lot of cash to build up something new? | ||

I guess they want to sell off the LoL team while it is still at/near it's peak (don't know for sure but I remember hearing that they were winning a lot) so they could net the largest profit | ||

No it's not Brood War, but it's still one of the hardest games to have come out recently, and is quite impressive to play well. The problems of Starcraft 2 are many, but skill ceiling is definitely not one. If its one of the hardest games why are pro gamers quitting left and right? | ||

I remember when I was getting into WC3 I used to download a TON of replays and just watch them, study them, try to do it by myself against A.I. and finally against other people on ladder. Also, it was very entertaining. Then there was this waaaghtv. Man, that was awesome. I think lack of those things really hurt SC2 in the long run, especially since it is really hard for new people to really get into it. You can watch streams, which is great, but for some reason, watching streams doesn't make me want to play more games. It's like watching TV. It won't make you make your own movies. But analyzing replays, studying build orders, observing decision making, checking mico/macro, that is completely different story. I know there are lots of replay analyzers and stuff like that. But I just want to see it happening on my screen. I want to load up replay where my favourite player is playing perfectly, etc... Hopefully someone catches what I'm trying to say. | ||
