I play the game for fun. I watch for fun. When I am not having fun I stop doing both of those. I will admit I HATE the WCS system, I have posted about it in other topics with how I would have designed it. I also will admit, I do kinda agree with you, it sucks to see Koreans come and stomp everyone, when I really want to see my favorite players play in tournaments. I find it more interesting to watch Naniwa play than I do with Rain for example. I will admit korean vs foreigner finals are always the most epic!

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.

Well, maybe someday for me. I still follow the scene from a distance, watch a few games and try to catch big games of players I care about. Once in a blue moon, I catch a game which entertains me. But I'll always miss enjoying a vast majority of the games like I did in BW. I'll miss being so excited about an OSL/MSL/Proleague final that I'd wake up in the middle of the night on a school day to watch it.

SC2 is fun . . . but so are other games. You don't need to be reserved to just one.
Thanks for the break :D

on behalf of the sc2 community, we do not need this negativity. Please take it and go, gg and gl in hearthstone

You don't speak on behalf of the community -_-. Especially when you registered 3 months ago. That or you're a PBU. Don't be dismissive of others peoples opinions.

a totally un-productive and pointless post, we need a lot less of this negativity in the community.

WTF man? The amount of highlevel games to watch this year was the absolutely largest in SC2 history, with the 3-region WCS and SPL on top of it, with stuff like Dreamhack and ROG continuing as strong as ever. There was so much SC2 that I had to really cherry pick what to watch, otherwise I won't have the time to sleep. All of this with rising production values and great commentary. I have a really hard time seing, what your problem is.

I have good new for you. MLG did not drop SC2, they are just not running it with a conflicting event that weekend. They have said they want to run SC2 at other events. Just enjoy the game and try to ignore the haters. There will be great SC2 this weekend at Gamescom and we have all of season 3 to rock out too. Plus Blizzcon is coming up. Kids are going to say SC2 is dying, but they just look at stream numbers and say “its not the biggest, that’s dead”. That’s not how life works.

As always, “don’t read the comments” is a rule for life.

wtf, why would you care about all this stuff if you still enjoy the game.

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.

Yeah it's sad they just say they like the game just because #ESPORTS TT


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.


You're a fan yet find the game "boring as hell"? There's plenty of other games to play with friends.

Koreans have been winning everything for ages, before HOTS was released. I'd say Blizzard is more visible now than they were back then.

Viewership might be declining though, MLG dropping SC2 was indeed a blow.

EDIT: Though yes, reading through the topic, I was reminded that there were rumors that MLG hasn't dropped it permanently.
