Was there seriously a time when WCG was considered a prestigious tournament? It's been a total mess every time I've tried to follow it basically forever. We put up with it for BW because it was literally the only tournament for a long time and even then it we laughed at how bad it was.

I guess I have fond memories of following it when I was in high school, 2004ish, but that was because I didn't know any better.


I agree with this 100%

There were some really memorable moments in wcg (froz vs boxer, Midas vs draco, etc), but all in all wcg has always been been ranEXTREMELY poorly.

Yeah I would feel a lot worse if WCG's fall wasn't entirely their own fault.

WCG is definitely not what it once was. The WCG USA thread could be counted on to be the best thread of the year every year. Now no one even cares enough for there to be hilarious drama

I feel like one of the appeals of WCG in the past (BW days) was having Koreans compete against foreigners. (that and the fact that it was a legit tournament instead of some online event). That appeal was lost once almost every sc2 tournaments became multi-national tournaments.


I agree with this. With the advent of many international tournaments, the best part about WCG, Koreans playing against foreigners, is no longer a niche they can claim.
Human teleportation, molecular decimation, breakdown and reformation is inherently purging. It makes a man acute.

The ball is in WCG's court this year. If they go beyond and churn out a really well presented tourney they could come back.

They just have to go BEYOND THE GAME

The WCG died to me the moment they dropped BroodWar from their list of games.

Wait wat really? If Combat's in there I'd watch all his games just to see how many of his sets he spams "EZ SON" in.

2009 was the last year of anything worthwhile.

When NIP won WCG in 2006, it actually meant something. Starcraft was also huge back then. But yeah... since then WCG has been so so so so depressing to follow.
