At least switch to Dota 2. This is embarrasing to the starcraft 2 community. At least I'd still hold lots of respect for going into a competitive game like dota 2. Don't get me wrong i respect marineking for his amazing games and effort he put into starcraft but this is just.... no.
Health of marine with combat sheild = 55. Ht's storm damage = 80. What blizzard?

who's grape?

btw shy, pray and piglet were bw players before they switched, at a semi-pro level. i think piglet won his courage license which was hella impressive.

Polt became Optimus through Wings of Liberty

Maru became Optimus through Heart of the Swarm

MarineKing finally became Optimus through League of Legends.

Grape was an up-and-coming rookie. He was in the Ro8 of the final BW OSL. Then he, Brave, and I think one more Khan player decided they were going to LoL instead of SC2.

Yes, Piglet had just won courage but wasn't picked up by a pro team (yet?), so semi-pro.

SC2 is not dying, it's dead without MKP...

Please, I would love to hear how a player who hasn't won or placed in basically any tournament since Iron Squid 2, who has basically fallen off the map since HOTS released to the point where they are not even qualified to play in challenger league mean the game is dead.

Most of us loved MKP, sure. Now, however, he's just another player who just isn't able to cut it any more moving onto other things. We should be celebrating his career and wishing him the best instead of thinking that this actually means something more than it is.

Marineking is not just another one retiring / switching. He is the beloved Foxer, the king of marines.

Sad news. Oh well, hope he'll achieve something there, but I won't be watching his games anymore because I despise all MOBA games since original dota. :/

Don't feel bad. He made almost 200K from SC2, and now he is switching to a game he is more passionate about.

I think LoL is boring to watch, doesn't mean I can't be happy when a player tries out something that might make him more happy.

Really depressing to see, but he'll always be a kong. From second places to the second best moba. I highly doubt he'll have anywhere near as much of an impact with only 1 unit to micro.

This is just my experience from being a team owner speaking to other owners. Many people in eSports, especially young players see LCS as a shining beacon of hope. A lot, and then I mean a lot of teams are formed now just to reach the qualifiers. The sad thing is that the spots are so few and the season streches over such a long amount of time that many people get really depressed when not able to qualify.
This case will probably be Marineking switching, not able to qualify and then either quits with gaming or go back to SC2.

He would have a huge chance to become something in Dota in Korea than LoL imo.

Glad though that he's following his heart.
You will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
