Sc2 being replaced with MLG, viewership declining, Gloom and doom on every community site, Koreans winning everything and Blizzard is no where to be found.

Maybe it's time I take up knitting, at least we still have Hearthstone

I try my hardest but sometimes the negativity gets through like a brick wave. I enjoy competition and as the NA scene collapses a lot of the competition goes with it.

Thats why we need national and regional tournaments. Everywhere the same is pretty boring.
90% of all teamleague tournaments are using all-kill format, the most boring format

I imagine a lot of people enjoyed that they felt they were a part of esports rather than actually enjoying playing the game.

Look at all the reluctance to play 1v1 that gets posted.

Bro, are you being real? This post is so ironic, it hurts. Just because foreigners are losing, doesn't mean the game is dying. Take a sec and cool off, the only thing killing sc2 is people saying stuff is killing it.

I don't want to be even more of a bummer but if you think being SC2 fan is depressing, try being a SCBW fan and not liking SC2.

Feels bad, man

Actually the lack of NA events and viewership declining caused most of my friends to pick up LoL and honestly while I enjoy Sc2 it's boring as hell if you don't know anyone who plays, that's the biggest problem for me anyway.

Watching Taiwan lose to Panama was depressing, SC2 matches are always amusing for the nerdgasms!

ouch.

I haven't actually played SCII in several weeks. My laptop's temps go up hardcore when I play so I decided to switch to mostly BW with some SCII with friends. Most of my friends don't play SCII anymore though and most that never did in the first place play Dota2 or LoL. Part of playing starcraft is playing games against friends and teammates, doing wacky builds with them etc... but ya, guess that's not gonna happen anytime soon in my case XD BTW, OP, you should just ignore all those news and play SCII on the ladder normally. No reason to spread doom and gloom in the community more than it's already been spread with all the "SCII is dying" posts/thread

If you're complaining about Korean players taking everything then you'd be depressed since WoL got released.

Switch to another game/community like Dota or something where it's currently really popular, maybe it'd change your mood.

Yeah, I went through this for a while, but I just came to appreciate SC2 for what it is, an excellent game that gets shit on because it had to follow up an impossibly good game. If starcraft 2 was called something else and didn't have to do with broodwar, I'm sure it would get much higher regards from the community, although the community would probably be smaller.
