i predicted a lower prize pool for 2013 ..
this is the truest measure of BLizzard's support because Blizzard is intricately 'partnered" with all the major event holders.
the biggest problem players face today is no money.
I am going to ignore the rest, since 99% of your arguments are invalid or have been countered.
My only response on this message I did quote is that we currently are in APRIL and already we are set for HALF the amount we spent last year. Predict all you want, but you still aren't going to be making any valuable points. The year is not over, so any argument that 'it is lower now than 2012' kind of makes no sense. Come back with a solid statement after the year is over, without incorporating two dozen of inconsistencies and claims you pulled out your butthole.
Edit:
Blizzard partnered with the organisations to help them set up a good experience and system, but by no means have spent money into the leagues in the way they do now. The mere fact that you're unable to provide evidence that supports your argument that Blizzard Entertainment is involved into funding the prize pools for multiple leagues, shows that you're just here to kick up dirt and not get any constructive point across.

Blizzard has quietly and substantially scaled back their support of SC2 eSports.
Stop fucking lying.

I have absolutely no interest in the actual topic but can I just say how hilarious it is to watch someone be so wrong and yet argue so hard. Jimmy, Blizzard could not possibly have done more to prove your OP wrong. You said they are scaling back support instead they are putting more money into it now then ever. What else do you need Blizzard to do in order to admit you're wrong?

Nobody is wrong on the internet!

Where did Blizzard say they are bigger than NHL? Also, read the title of this fucking blog. Now read the first line. Now please for the love of god admit you were incorrect and Blizzard did not give up in esports.
Here.
Itzik Ben-Bassat: We were just told the other day that by numbers, StarCraft is bigger than the NHL. If you look just as the last month, we had several live broadcasts, MLG Dallas with record breaking concurrent viewers. Even the Heart of the Swarm release was really successful, with high viewership numbers.

So, using numbers, Starcraft is bigger than the NHL. Cool, it doesn't seem like Blozzard are trying to spin anything negative into their favour.

Its not lying if you make your argument so fluid and always select the numbers that make sure your theory is always proven correct. Haven't you read Calvin and Hobbs: "Lower your expectations until they are already met".
This Blog has become amazing.

Only best kind of magic, where logic and math are defeated and we can be whatever we want to be.

Just read the blog, had a good laugh considering recent announcements.
A bit unfair though to laugh in hindsight, in February you could make a case to come to such conclusions.

Guys, none of you have yet considered that in a hypothetical parallel universe, Blizzard has decided to cut all funding for SC2. In this other universe, there are green cats as well. Therefore, the OP is true in a multiversal sense and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Is there a Hall of Fame we can archive this thread to?
Every time anyone says SC2 is dieing I'm just gonna link them this thread.
Glorious.

You do realize that you just provided a link which contradicted your reason for why GomTV offered a refund. Do you even read and try to understand things before you comment on them?
I literally can't believe that you actually used a source claiming to support your reasoning when it in actuality confirmes that you are wrong.

Lets rename the OP to "JimmyTryHard"

ROFL holy cow I expected jimmy to ignore this or something but he still thinks he's right? lol holy cow.

Except this blog isn't about private company support, it's about Blizzard's support.
God I love it when people are spectacularly wrong, then still try to argue to save face. It makes me feel a lot better about myself.
