If this move gives him better financial opportunities(given the korean scene, his skill, chances of making a team, salary, etc.) then it only makes sense for not only him to make the switch,but others as well.

Whether it does in fact end up being a better or worse move than staying in SC2 is a wait-and-see game.





Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Well there are less opportunities in SC2 and LoL is way easier, so it makes sense. There is pretty much the same amount of money, while the game is easier.

SC2 does require more skills, does require way more physical action, you have way more actions to perform and is very taxing mentally as well in long games or long series.

So a good choice from him, since he was getting worse and worse in SC2, he knew he couldn't handle the competition.

In response to that, I provide you some wisdom from another Terran Champion:

Switching to a better game that has longevity. Competition is still extremely fierce, though.

Honestly, the fact that out of the tens of millions of LoL players, you can definitively pick out the top couple of players for each position already proves that there's more skill than LoL is given credit for.

"MarineKing wishes to replicate his presence and achievements in the SC2 scene for the LoL scene"

So many second place finishes coming in for Prime's LoL team :|

EDIT: Anyone claiming that LoL is easy should just play the game, try to get to Diamond, and I wish you luck in not killing yourself out of frustration (both with the players and the game) before you even reach gold. It's quite difficult.

I don't like LoL but I don't blame MarineKing at all. If I was a SC2 pro gamer who had talent for LoL and didn't mind having to rely on the skills on my teammates, and if I wanted my career to have a future, I'd switch to LoL instantly.

Oh chill out. Blizzard could have done a better job on the game's design and on promoting and organizing SC2 as an esport, sure, but no Pay-to-Play RTS would ever have had a chance against the Free-to-Play MOBAs no matter what Blizzard did. It was a doomed endeavor from the start.

There's a difference between saying a pay RTS has a chance against f2p MOBA and saying a pay RTS is boring. It is silly to think SC2 would be nearly as popular/successful as LoL. I am sure Blizzard knows that, so it is not their goal of beating LoL or anything like that.

Right now, they need to focus on longevity. Now that is something that could be a doomed endeavour from the start.

I used to hate League because of what it was doing to SC2. I realize now that LoL is shaping Esports just like SC2 did and does. There's no enemy here.

I play and enjoy both now, and am glad to see MK moving to something else if he'll be happier doing it.

I like esports.
