I am planning on replacing my Alienware 14 laptop so I can play Starcraft 2 better. I am deciding on these two and I need help doing so. Here are the specs for both laptops. DO NOT TELL ME TO GET A DESKTOP I TRAVEL A LOT!!!

MSI GT72 Dominator Pro-211:
i7-4710HQ
Nvidia GTX 980m 8gb gddr5 with Optimus
Pros: I like the design over the Sager and cheaper
Cons: a bit less powerful than the Sager

Sager NP9772-S:
i7-4790K Unlocked DESKTOP PROCESSOR
Nvidia GTX 980m 8gb gddr5 with Optimus
Pros: excellent CPU because I heard that Starcraft 2 uses the cpu more than the gpu:
Cons: expensive, the laptop design looks really bad and no LED lights which I like.

I play SC2 all the time on my MSI GT60 2OD-026US laptop on ultra settings and have no issues at all, runs a 4700mq and a 780m.
