Babyk was actually very similar in that respect. Then again he was also significantly better than Black.

he most likely just prefers 1v1 over a teamgame which is understandable

Not at all. BabyK wasn't a hard carry player primarily; he was a solo. Doom Bringer, PotM and especially Shadow Fiend and Invoker - he and Dendi created the EW carry-voker build that got Alacrity nerfed - were his heroes. He played a bit of carry at times, but only in funky lineups. Baby was always in my opinion a bit overrated due to a number of temporary retirements and team breakups that happened when he was at his best. Fear had retired, Demon was inactive - or a sixth man for MYM - Loda had retired, Misery and Playmate were splitting time between carrying and soloing with Maelk, Lacoste and Demon and of the really good solo players only Dendi was still playing. That position was extremely weak, and LOST.EU lacked a stable roster or, frankly, an acceptable captain. Ducky frequently picked bizarre lineups with odd hero assignments, and he wasn't a high enough level player to contribute. So a lot of the time, LOST.Eu's matches turned into "can the three other players support Babyknight's Shadow Fiend enough to counteract Ducky's throws".

Black. most overrated player in the universe. but then again every carry is overrated.
|
Him changing to a different game isn't overly surprising considering every team hes been on in dota 2 has been a huge disappointment thus far... So he's probably just getting frustrated at this point. Especially now more than ever, mouz's dota 2 team can't seem to win... Sifting through their results on StarLadder right now, and I'm having a hard time finding a win from them v.s a team that is even slightly recognizable. Their most notable win is against We has asians (I guess they're a little bit recognizable). All the known teams they played against they've just gotten stomped by.

If he really plays 8 hours a day and takes this shit serious, he will be competing with the best in Europe within a few months. good luck!
|
This is a big mistake. But if it makes him happy you do what you gotta do.
|
I'm happy for him, maybe I'm alone in that.
I understand that getting in is hard and being successful is to, and if he's doing moderately well there's a better chance where he is, and I understand that we're oversaturated as is...but everything against it just sounds like an argument against NEW BLOOD getting into SC2 also. That's an argument I can't support at all.

Dota is a totally different beast than sc, that's why only like 2 people have played in a high level in both games, bad choise imo, but then he may be a rich guy so..
|
Give the guy some slack. No doubt he already knows it won't be easy and if he did his homework he should know how competitive it is. But as with anything in life, the accomplishments you achieve are the result of the effort you put in. He is taking a challenging leap in life and he should be commended for it, not shunned away.
I don't know the guy but as an avid Sc2 fan, I welcome any pro trying his hardest to make it into the scene.

Stay in dota black... This is koreatown.
|
Shit just got real!!!!! I really wonder how he will do?! Good luck Black! <3
|
I think it will be a terrible decision if he does switch, as nazgul said...you need to cement yourself in an upcoming game otherwise you will just miss out.

I wish him the best of luck and hope he is aware of just how much effort it takes to be competitive at SC2 but considering he's saying he's been practicing 8h/day he probably has an idea. There's a reason people generally don't switch to SC2 from other games and that reason is not because SC2 is "dieing".
Good Luck!
