Everything you see, like literally everything, you, JimmyJRaynor, see anywhere, you think is a sign of SC2's "inevitable decline". The sky is a light blue? SC2 must be declining. You have to preheat the oven to 375? Blizzard is failing with SC2. The extra student was Sakakibara's aunt? This is why we see less and less tournaments in SC2. My cat has rabies? No wonder all the teams are disbanding. The conservation of mass states that matter in a closed system cannot be reduced or increased? Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I guess that's why progamers are retiring.
The truth is, nothing lasts forever, so if you want to see a game "die" in terms of public interest relative to popular trends, then all you have to do is wait. I mean, for fuck's sake, WarCraft 2 was an incredibly fun game, and all the gamer nerds wanted to play it, but now, only a tiny handful of people still play.
Now, if a progamer or a featured blogger wrote this and titled it "Changes SC2 needs to make", and it received little attention, then I could see you having a point, although, it should be noted that forum activity is not directly related to the success or failure of the SC2 servers in maintaining their population. However, since [UoN]Sentinel is not really "known", and the title of the blog isn't inherently intriguing because it doesn't have some sensationalist ring to it, I think the level of response here is aptly appropriate, and you need to stop being a conspiracy-theorist whiner in the MMA and SC2 threads.
