Just because League has much more doesn't mean SC2 has to as well. SC2 is too complex for today's casuals to learn. Sadly, games with complexity and depth like SC2 are becoming a niche as easy games like League and Call of Duty become more popular. That's why SC2 has become about as big as it's gonna get and it'll probably stay that way, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. What's so complex and deep about deathballs mowing each other down? People are quitting SC2 because it lacks complexity and depth, and most of all, it isn't fun. Also, fun doesn't mean easy, look at Brood War, it was one of the most fun games ever, need I say more? | ||

Anyone know if this means he's forfeiting his NASL results? He's doing so well in his group... | ||

With the exception of a few Koreans, most of the players that are quitting are doing to because they are at best average and usually mediocre at the game. | ||

... In all seriousness though, a second place and a third place at MLG along with a first place at NA Battle.net Invitational 2011 and several trillion online cup wins is nothing to be ashamed of. Best of luck with DotA2! | ||

Dota is better suited to him, so good move. Good news! Korea is dominating LoL, China is dominating Dota . SelecT should have no problems OT: Welcome back SelecT, and GL HF | ||

Sure he admits he cannot compete with the top koreans but first he talks about getting too old for RTS games and then starting pro-Dota, I don't like it. How is Dota gonna be any different if he already said the practice regime was the problem? Sour taste aside, GL with whatever you decide to do. Finishing college sounds smart to me. Dota 2 is way less mechanically/multitasking oriented.. You got a quitter-vibe because he is fact, quitting the game of sc2. | ||
