LoL is a no-skill donkey game. I'm So glad the TL community has decided not to support it fully, seriously they ban people from the game permantantly just for minor trash talk. That game is for 12 year olds nuff said.

User was warned for this post


Funny that this statement came from a SC2 player. No-skill?

Hmm,, you ever play MOBAs?

I really wish that there wasn't this jump to LoL. I think their model is unsustainable and is only being kept afloat by huge cash flows from riot and a few sponsors who can't possibly be seeing enough return to keep this long term.


Can't this statement be applied, word-for-word, for SC2?
When SC2 came for BW, I cried. Now LoL/Dota2 comes for SC2, and I laugh. \o/

I dont want to start this war once again, but lets not go into what is profitable and what not. Currently its Sc2 and LoL.

T-T bye Grape.... GL with LoL!

On a side note: holy crap.... it's going to be frustrating to see my beloved BW players switch over to LoL instead of SC2.....


You do not want to look forward to September then. I predict quite a few (especially the mid-tier players) will either retire or move on to LoL after this Proleague season.

As per the words of Carmac, LoL actually has a reason to support their game and constantly update it for newer players to enjoy unlike SC2 once you buy it the first time. If anything, SC2 is the unsustainable one.
Good luck to them, regardless of what game they play.

The thing unsustainable about LoL is that the fans and viewers are the players. Every game has a time limit and every one moves onto new games. WoW arena suffered the same fate. Once people get bored of LoL and move to other genres or other MOBAs, where is the audience going to be?

Do you think LoL could have 8 people come up on stage say one sentence and make the crowd go wild? It's hard to say. The magnitude of crowd hype and volume that arose, when Flash walked on stage is incomparable in all other esports. TSM players could hardly be called esports celebrities, because the fan base is there to watch LoL.

Sc2 player base is shrinking drastically every season, but the fan base is growing and growing and growing.

Gosh, this is terrible news.

I always thought Grape had a lot of potential..

So sad.

Why is there so many people saying he's "burnt out of bw".

These pros have been playing bw since they were less than 12 years old. I think it illogical to assume that they suddenly burnt out when bw is about to die.

I wish you had watched MLG I believe it was last week, the fans shouting for TSM sounded as loud as any SC2 event i've heard.

After they won yes, it is natural to cheer for the champions. But I'm talking about being worshipped by fan boys and fan girls alike for simply being around. Could most LoL fans name every TSM player by their real names? Compare that to everyone knowing Lee Young Ho, Greg Fields, Jang Min Chul.
