Imagine a scale from 1 to 10.

1 being "SC2 will die before LOTV is released" and 10 being "SC2 is doing great and its growth as an esport cant be better"

do you see how being on either end of this scale might be a bit ridiculous? though of course if you are on either end, there's probably nothing one could say to you in order to convince you otherwise.

you are close to 1, not on 1, but maybe 3 or 2.5.

edit: oh im being trolled, *facepalm*

No problem. The point is, the people who think he's wrong have given him way more exposure than I think they intended. Now they've formed some weird "JimmyRaynor Is Stupid Club" that meets regularly in this thread.

nice to see Blizzard admitting they thoroughly fucked up on "State of the Game" today.
nice MEA CULPA from Blizzard.

they are claiming they are putting more into eSports than they ever have... of course until 1/3 of the way through the year they had contributed very little... and they are saying the whole thing is run by just 4 people. ROFLMAO.

it'll be interesting to see.. if we actually see anything tangible during 2013 to reflect this "greater commitment".
i don't think we will.

Cloaken is taking a beating from DJWheat and TotalBiscuit.

but i love those moronic apologists who claim its all the fault of ESL, MLG and Gretech/GomTV.

i think SC2 will roll along just fine for the next several years.

Will SC2 eSports be an amazing profitable venture in the foreseeable future?
No.

I love playing Starcraft.. its a great game...
and the Starcraft arcade is great fun.

Blizzard is one of the best video game designers in the 30+ year history of the industry.
Blizzard is not very good at running a highly competitive gaming league.

Are James Naismith and his athletic staff at Mcgill (the guys who invented basketball)
are they the guys who would be best at running the NBA?
of course not... same applies to Starcraft and its best and most competitive organized league.

the special "Blizzard Damage Control" episode of SotG was pretty good.
TotalBiscuit, basically said the stuff i've been saying for at least a week.

4 people.. then the back tracking was great stuff.

if you think posting on this forum is "a lot of effort" i have to wonder if you've ever had a real job.

Does this overlap with the JimmyJRaynor Drinking Game? Because my alcohol saturation is reaching dangerous levels as is.

well, now it appears NASL will no longer support SC2....
as i predicted o so long ago.



and Blizzard's convoluted "no broadcast crossovers permitted" rule set sure helped it along
where are all those guys that said NASL was "waiting for HotS to come out"

NASL gone, IPL gone.
WCS is doing a great job of killing the independent scene.

the joke is claiming Starcraft is bigger than the NHL.

i predicted the end of the NASL's support of SC2 six months ago.
where are all the guys saying NASL is waiting for "HotS" ?

look for more layoffs at Blizzard, WoW is down and according to Kotick, it won't get up.

Don't really care about the discussion itself since you are making zero sense, however I would like you to give the source as to NASL no longer hosting SC2 events since that itself is pretty big news and has yet to reach any major news page as far as I've seen.

i made the prediction re NASL.... several people disputed it.. we now know the result.

look for prize money to fall this year... as i predicted.

how much prize money has NASL given out so far this year ?
$0
for all intents and purposes NASL does not exist.

i made my predictions about Alex Anthopoulos... it led to a huge outcry.... we now know the result.
