2. Video games are becoming more casual, and more people are accepting of them as a hobby. Hobbies have potential for extreme competition. The casual factor is evidenced by the Nintendo Wii, things like the Xbox's Kinect, and, relative to Brood War, SC2. This draws in a larger audience simply because of the accessibility. Even though SC2 will never see skill gaps as high as that between Flash and MVP, the increased accessibility is a plus for eSports because games like SC2 can become catalysts for increased viewership and corporate broadcasting, giving other games like BW a better chance to hit the mainstream. | ||

When you go down make sure you go down kicking and screaming, let everyone know that you fought till the very end. BW got less then 12 months left so make sure you are heard plenty before then. Out of the ashes of a once great eSport a new king will be crowned. Yes it is going happen and no amount of arguing, kicking, screaming and crying will stop it. I could post a fine wall of text with wellwritten arguments like you did brave one, but how about I just end it with "Time will prove you wrong" I guess you're just kind of hoping that no one will remember you posted this in 12 months. I say you volunteer yourself for a ban if you're wrong. That would show some form of confidence in your otherwise bland and meaningless prediction. | ||

You make it sound like SC2 is barely scrapping by as some kind of low quality, forced entertainment when really its growth feels a lot more organic and natural. You contend that SC2 should be happy with how far it is as a mediocore game, but I would argue that the SC2 scene will grow even further in the coming years. Whlie SC2 may not be as pure and perfect in form as BW, what really matters for it to grow as an esport is how much it is embraced by the community. And the community seems to be loving it right now. | ||

You're entire article now breaks down. Also I get the impression that you don't like SC2. Now stop pretending like your own opinion is shared by everyone. | ||

Instead of actually showing us some valid, unbiased criticism that is debatable and productive, you are making it easy on yourself by injecting an overdose of subjective negativity. Ridiculing everything that you don't like and declaring that the reason why SC2 is not an eSport makes for a poor argument to "prove your point". Please refrain from posting such things in the blog section. If you are frustrated, alright I understand, but don't drag everyone else with you. My advice is to keep to yourself if you are unable to contribute to the Teamliquid blog section. | ||

Is it really too much to ask for slightly more mature posts? Yes he does contribute more than the average person, but he does so in a way that invokes flame wars and all the sorts. I am merely stating that it's better to post this article without all the subjective negative comments that ridicule things that other people care about deeply. And if he can't do that, it would be better if he didn't post. Please read my post again and consider for a moment. It is better to try and encourage more constructive posts, then to just flame at him or letting these posts become the standard. This is my opinion and of course yours may differ. But as of late the posts on the forum and the blog section just seem to degrade in quality more and more. It should be more about constructive, positive posts. I might have worded it a bit ambiguous in my previous post though, my apologies. | ||

You just insulted StarCraft 2, American football, and stock car racing (presumably NASCAR) in your post as somehow not legitimate. I won't pretend to like the latter two, but I know both draw millions of fans who know way more about the sports than I do, many of whom are intelligent and can tell you exactly why they like to watch these sports and how much skill is required. Your ignorance to fact isn't a reason why these sports aren't legitimate. | ||

Overall I thought that your comprehension of sport was pretty low and why did you felt the urge to give us your opinion when no one obviously care... ^ agree it seemed to me that you already were not that interested in most sports aswell, stock car racing cannot be compared to rally car racing because they're basic skills needed are completely different, stock cars are all about pacing and passing, rally cars you ahve to pay attention more or less to your route and the terrain and being able to navigate the difficult terrain and having working car rather then ensuring that your pitting at right times or conserving gas properly....... overall you make comparisons betweeen things that cant be compared, maybe do two leagues of the same sport but then all the pro leagues have good skill in their respective countries..... if there isnt the skill base there they dont have a pro league simple | ||
