Well so me and my friends all played starcraft when it came out and we all liked it very much and very quickly it became our favourite game. We pretty much went through it all and started all in bronze and now two of us are diamond and the other two platinum.
Early on in our sc2 experience we discovered stuff such as huskystarcraft and HDstarcraft. That really kept us going, always seeing new videos pop up of them casting and goofing around. Then husky started doing Co-casts with day9 and we saw him and he quickly became our favourite caster Then we started watching his videos all the time... I mean we would like meet up and say day9 tonight? Then we would go over and just watch day9...
Now I have pretty much lost interest in that... It just takes so long each analasis he makes. Not saying he should change his show at all! It just doesn't do it for me.... I can't take many matches in a row then I just get too exited, exhausted, depressed depends on how I have been doing.
So I usually took a game then after that I spent time watching streams and vods. That kept my starcraft life altogether. Now its pretty much seems pretty dull almost everything I'm watching.... And that decreases my will to take ladders and slowly I have been losing really much interest in starcraft....
This thread is actually just a branch of another thread I made a short while ago. + Show Spoiler +http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=339125
Me wondering if this all over or if stream/tournament views are going down in number etc.

I never really play starcraft any more but I watch it just as much as ever, though only tournaments and streams really. I was never really that big of a vods guy. IDK whether it is shrinking or expanding, but I think esports as a whole is expanding and I think starcraft will follow suit.

This isn't the game for you. Go find something else, or maybe try Custom games first ^^.
edit: Also, try BW ^^

Brood War will get the fire back. I never thought I'd try, but I've begun trying out and laddering SC2 on a friend's account. Just doesn't feel the same... :/
As for it dying, as what 3FFA said, this isn't the game for you if you feel bored or just not into it.

I fell out of SC2 personally. I play more LoL lately, but every so often I'll watch some and I still watch the SC2 talk shows. I think the main reason for me is that feeling like I'm playing with and against other people. I don't feel like I'm playing a game by myself when I play LoL as I do when I played SC2. I only blame battle.net for the loneliness. But I'll always stay here at TL.

I got D3 and played it for a few days and had a lot of fun, but I soon missed SC2. I don't see myself getting out of SC2 and into some other game. More likely, I would stop gaming entirely.

I still haven't made up my mind about SC2 to be honest, first year or so i did nothing but watch SC2 streams and talk shows all the time and it was A LOT of fun. After a while I stopped with the talk shows, then the streams from players, and now i dont even watch GSL except for the final. SC2 doesn't seem to have that thing BW did so i can't blame you if you might not like it as much any more.
I'm mostly watching Dota2 now since BW is dying soon T_T, really love Tobi hes a great caster so he makes dota2 fun even though i barely understand the game.

The Day[9] dailies were so much better when he watched BroodWar games. Back in those good ol' days, an hour didn't seem like enough time for each analysis.

You mean when he was talking about the game and not about himself?
This is out of place though. Still love the guy, but don't watch the dailies anymore.

You're surely not alone. In this depressing atmosphere with dwindling players, maphackers blatantly running wild, and sometimes frustrating losses, a lot of people are losing interest. My advice is try Broodwar. It's MUCH more satisfying playing and winning.

What, he only tells stories on funday monday and if he does it during a daily then its like super short...

Seems like several people want to make posts about how bad and awful SC2 is(tbh, the OP of this blog didn't do that though), esp compared to BW, and blah blah blah. I love SC2 and I think I need to make blog about it. 
@OP No need to burn yourself out on anything. If you don't like it, you'll find something else you enjoy.

Nobody said anything about the game being bad, where did you pull that out from?
