What the fuck? I know it sounds stupid, but I cannot see what would make one change from Starcraft 2 to League of Legends. The latter for me still has the character of a 10-year-old that is running around you in cricles asking for candy ;;

Faker v Flash midlane showdown plz.


That would make me quit watching Starcraft entirely if he switched to LoL. Not because i hate that game (i just don't like it) but i love seeing Flash building things and crushing with a big army.

Like Bisu, MKP is a player that needs a larger audience to adore him. It doesn't matter if the game is good or bad. These kind of players thrive on popularity.

Best of luck!

idk why people say LoL is such an easy game... I found it so much harder than sc2 T_T

making diamond (when it was the highest) with all 3 races on separate accts was so easy... less than 50 games each. Sure, getting to mid-high masters was a challenge but not that bad...

merely getting to gold in LoL was a fking nightmare

edit: no prior moba or rts experience whatsoever

They say it's easy because it's mechanically WAY less demanding. There's no way in hell you could call it easy though, it's a competitive game after all and requires a LOT of knowledge (and still great mechanics) to do well.

Some people are more naturally suited to one type of game or the other too. I'm better at Starcraft, but a couple of my friends who can't come close to touching me in Starcraft (despite playing at least as much as me) are 1000x better than me at LoL or DOTA.

EDIT: Almost forgot the actual point of my post .

I'd be pretty sad to see MKP go...if it was 2012, it's been a long time since he was a relevant player. Of course it's always sad to know for sure there's no way back for him...but to be honest it was obvious from his play he was never going to be a force again in Starcraft. Hopefully he can do well in LoL (but he is starting out a long way behind).

We have not seen a decline as a result of the rise of "DOTA Games." We don't see any "threat." They are very different games with very different types of players who want to play them.

Pro-gamers move to where the money is.

This is good for SC2.... there were too many professional players before. Now we are getting closer to an equilibrium where SC2 will have more new blood like Life/Sora. Cycle of life and death!

MKP will always be remembered as one of the greatest Terrans ever in the WoL era.

He has already left his mark but it's still sad to see him go. Good luck in LoL, MKP :'(

Sad to see him go but I've been expecting this for a while now and I'll still follow him in LoL. Glad he went to LoL over dota because I don't play or really watch either moba a lot, but when I have, LoL is the more interesting of the two to watch. I watched the KR teams and Royal in this past worlds and found it interesting, while watching the international put me to sleep. Haven't really watched much of ogn's league, but if mkp ever makes it, I'll be sure to catch his games.

I have seen it coming from miles, seeing how he performed in SC2 as of late. Not surprised at all.

Best of luck to MKP!

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.


But LoL is more competitive - more fans, more money, higher quality of tournaments.

And let's not pretend DotA is not casual - it was that map everyone played because they sucked at Warcraft.

As for the news - expected. There are not a lot more money than the SC2 scene and there is little incentive for new sponsors to chime in, moving to the biggest eSport game is the smart move.

Doesn't mean I won't miss him.


more popular maybe, but in terms of complexity and required skill it's far below dota2 or HoN. Besides, dota2 is getting more popular, even in South Korea and might even catch up to LoL someday. ^^'

Don't get me wrong, there are several reasons why LoL is so popular: great timing in releasing the game, great support for both casual and pro-players by RIOT, great marketing, it's accessible etc. But IMHO, heavily e-sports-related people will sooner or later move on to the more complex and sophisticated game, if it doesn't heavily lack in other parts (which Dota2 doesn't, in any other form than the lower number of players).

So to get back to the topic: Why doesn't some dota2 Team pick up MKP? I mean, there are already several Korean SC2 Pro-Teams with Dota2 Teams (ST, MVP, FXO) and it could be a great popularity-booster for dota2. That's the kind of advertising that will really bring new Players and Viewers to your game and that's exactly where RIOT does everything right - I bet they got MKP an offer or sth. or maybe even the allure of the tons of Prize-money for a moderately hard to play game was enough.

League is the premium game in KR and pretty much all around the world.
LoL keeps refreshing their game by having mana-less heroes, lots of patches and reworks etc.
All these while having enough depth to play around.

fun wise, popularity wise, it seems MKP is siding with League and I can't really say it is a wrong choice.
just look at how big that world final was, pretty sure it broke quite a lot of records there.

Damn this is turning into a terrible sc2 dedgame/sc2vslolvsdota thread
I loved MKP back in the day when he was still one of the top terrans. Seeing him getting out of GSL was really sad, he is a very emotional guy, and while his passion carried him for a long time he seemed for sure to be losing it.
I hope he'll do well in LoL on the opposite of pretty much all the other sc2 players that tried to switch, and that at least he'll smile again even if not on the game we would like him to play.

unfortunately lol isnt hard enough, when opponent adc has 100cs flash would have maybe 105.


IF Flash was forced to switch game id hope he would play dota2
Flash vs Mushi midlane would be......awesome.
lol midlane action is just boring.
