Millenium will announce their Hearthstone lineup this week and Adel will most likely be part of it. KleeneX decided to switch on Heroes of the Storm and plays LoL until he gets a key. So BBK is the third player this month to switch to another game. | ||

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. Quoted for truth. | ||

I don't mean to backseat mod, just expressing my increasing exasperation over threads that are ostensibly about wish pro players well in their new endeavours, guys who have brought memorable to moments and it becomes a venting point for people's' personal gaming proclivities. | ||

I will cheer for you, as long as you don't play against [A]lliance. Thanks for your time, and maybe I'll see you again in Legacy of the Void.  | ||

Nooooooo Babby Knight! I've been a fan of yours since I can remember watching competitive SC2. GL in DotA and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for you! | ||

No, you have to play those games just as much if you want to be a succesful pro. Basically as much time as you can afford without burning out. Also I think almost none of these sc2 players that switched to Dota or LoL have actually reached pro level. Actually I cant come up with a single one that made it. Just a few bw players that switched very early to LoL. Highly doubtful BabyKnight will make it either, but he is doing what he has motivation to do. | ||

BabyKnight was a pro/semipro DotA player for years before SC2 was even released, that's why it's easy for him to transition back into it. As someone who played against BabyKnight several times in DotA, I am actually happy to hear that he's returning to it. He was one of the most talented players in the world, and could have had even more success if he had stuck with the game. Good luck BabyKnight! | ||

Select got there team wise but his skills were not up to it. I think. Only heard about it on the GD Studio so I can't judge. | ||

No real comment about the extremely subjective first part though. With crowd funding it seems like every tournament these days is over 60k, closer to 100k total prize pool. | ||
