Pretty much this. Main reason to have motivation to play this game is attending tournaments. Prime Example is IdrA.

I hope you come back to SC2. Always sad when a programer leaves the scene. Dota or LoL...pshhh. These casual/lazy games will only momentary satisfy your itch for a little more fame/money.
But SC2, that's where the true challenge lies. It requires heart, dedication

And to live in poverty with 20k prize pools vs 6.2m+ prizepool

The vast majority of Dota players will never get close to the big TI payday, don't act like it's commonplace

The $$ landscape of Dota2 is way more top heavy than SC2.

Why do people trot out these lines as some immutable factual truth?

People are all different you know? Idra never really seemed to enjoy the game, but his competitive spirit kept him playing despite that and I'm sure he's not alone. I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility to think that some pros actually enjoy the game though. :p

Thats a good decision. Starcraft has a limited time left and koreans are fkin everywhere making tournaments boring. Good luck.
I play 1v1 SC2 because I've heard there are people who are currently better than I - and that pisses me off.

Good luck man, you always surprised me with your Sc2 results (because I wasn't very impressed with the dota (hon? dunno) games I saw from you. I thought you were a mediocre player but you proved me wrong many times. Good decision, I hope you'll find friends/satisfaction/success and fun in no particular order. Try to keep the manner from the Sc scene when dipping into the hellhole that is moba trashtalk

I too, found myself playing dota2 far more than SC2 ever since HotS came out. Blizzard just don't seem to care enough about SC2 for me to remain interested in it.Its not like there aren't things for Blizzard to improve on the game/bnet, they refuse to dedicate a decent amount of resources to it and I'm tired of their excuses, failed promises and PR dribble.

So Enjoy Dota2 babyknight I support you!

Actually, koreans are what makes tournaments interesting.
Wishing BK to achieve success in Dota (though i have absolutely 0 interest in MOBA). As for me, i see this foreign scene shrinking thing as something inevitable and logical. This game is meant to be played by koreans. There always will be a few Stephanos and Naniwas here and there to amuse us. But overall, whatching tournaments w/o decent koreans is the most boring thing (including WCS EU/AM).
Less is more.

I really really don't get this. Personally, I really really enjoy playing a somewhat hard game (though fairly easy compared to bw) with a skill gap that you'll probably never reach. Starcraft 2 has been my favourite game to play for over 2 years now and I often find myself not playing other games/finishing singleplayer games because I just end up playing starcraft. By no means am I pro and I don't even play in online tournaments, I simply enjoy constantly improving in a game that puts all responsibility on myself. Especially given that nowadays most games are made to be as accessible for newbies as possible (or how I like to call it made so your grandma can be good at it) I just really appreciate how hard starcraft is if you don't have any experience in bw/war3. I think hots is far better and more fun to play than wol and I find mobas to be very unfun to play for several reasons.

So you might wanna be careful with the word everyone, as there are plenty of people who genuinely enjoy playing star 2. I think it's more of a matter of people preferring team games and not being able to deal with the pressure that comes with playing 1 v 1. I mean 1 v 1 games have always been less popular than team games, kinda how 5 v 5 CS ended up being way more popular than 1 v 1 Quake.

Also I really don't understand all the foreigner vs korean crap. I couldn't care less about someones ethical background, jesus I watch pro gamers because I wanna be blown away by how good they are, not by them speaking English or being funny on camera. Koreans work the hardest and put in the most amount of time while showing the highest quality of games so they deserve to be in the dominant position they are in. I personally prefer watching whoever shows the best games not who has the same skin color as I.
