For the many people responding to this blog by restating issues with the game I really think you missed the point. I see this as a cry to appreciate all the greatness of what we have in starcraft. If all discourse on the state of the game was calm and balanced rather than spiraling into huge negative spirals this blog wouldn't be necessary. But due to the hysterical complaints going on at the moment it's important to take a step back and look at how far SC2 has come, how much more active the map is, how much more micro and variety of strategy and how AMAZING so many of the games are! | ||

As for the "dead game" shit, I honestly feel like it was a bandwagon gone wrong. Initially it was a sarcastic response to the whole "League of Legends gets more viewers than SC2" whinge. It snowballed out of control so heavily that people seem to have actually given it some credibility. I saw people on the DotA2 subreddit last week talking about how SC2 is a dead game and how r/starcraft is a ghost town, besides the weekly pro retiring. This whole "inside joke" has gone too far and inherently slapped a negative label on the whole community. Pretty annoying! But I agree with your blog entirely. The game is healthy, flourishing and more entertaining than ever. I really hope people can look past the LoL/SC2 comparison someday. | ||

I know you've been watching IEM, Jinro. I hope you enjoyed the last day's play. And, once again, tyvm for this thread. It could not have come at a better time for the TL community (and for me). Cheers. | ||

The LR thread (which I caught from time to time from work) made it seem like it was an awesome day of SC2. It was frustrating being at work and not being able to watch IEM (come to that it was also frustrating being at work and not being able to watch the cricket either, as NZ made one of the great comebacks against India). I know you've been watching IEM, Jinro. I hope you enjoyed the last day's play. And, once again, tyvm for this thread. It could not have come at a better time for the TL community (and for me). Cheers. I am actually, physically, jealous of you for being able to watch all of those matches for the first time. You're in for a treat! | ||

Maybe it's because he has so many fans and they can be more overbearing then others but exactly the same thing happened in the LR's for DH Summer and WCS America last year. The moment he's beaten the entire LR just descends into vile balance whine and even hate for the player who won (everyone saying the want Polt to destroy Hero, a little ironic considering what the same type of people were saying about Polt in the WCS America LR all those months ago). This is then exacerbated by the tagalongs just copying what everyone else is saying and the trolls baiting them into continuing their rants. Completely ruins what was, up until that point, a great LR thread for what has been the best tournament I've seen in a very long time. I consider myself to be a huge Jaedong fan, and after having watched the replay of game 5, I simply have to say that HerO played better in that game. The warp prism / immortal micro was just insane. The game would have gone completely different if JD had managed to snipe that dreaded prism with something like 10 HP left. After JD's inefficient counterattack, HerO had caught up again. And of course, Yeonsu is just a nightmare for zerg to play against those builds. Not every Jaedong fan is a whiny bitch, I actually think that most people are pretty calm and can respect the skill of other players. It's just that those people don't post too much. They read all the balance whine, shrug and close the tab with the forum thread to enjoy the games. I also had tons of fun watching the tournament yesterday and I have to agree with Jinro completely. SC2 may still have its flaws, but it has developed into an amazing game. If only bunkers would build five seconds faster... | ||
