Where’s your Fighting Spirit?

Is acceptance the only stage remain?

If the end is inevitable, why are you still here?

The StarCraft community was pioneers, Esports innovators. Streaming? High production tournament web broadcasts? BarCraft? We did that. This defeatist attitude is sickness. This is not the community I knew.

Fuck it, if death is so inevitable, let’s welcome it. At least give it a proper send off. We all spend a good part of a decade with this game, this scene, this community. Its funeral deserves a at least proper eulogy.

Let's send it off on a high note.

Aim:
200 BarCraft for LOTV Launch

LOTV will eventually drop, and Blizzard's marketing muscle will probably give us one (last?) good show to go with it. But if the ROTS launch was any indication, Blizzard alone can't work miracles.

To save StarCraft, we need BarCraft, and reviving BarCraft is infinitely easier to do. Build it, and they will come. Our collective history has shown that to be true.

Imagine a hundred, hundred launch parties around the world celebrating our Great Game:

"LOTV Launch Party: Every City Near You"

Imagine the media buzz that will generate; imagine of all the forgotten friends we can welcome back; imagine how impressive that would sound to the Activision-Blizzard board.

LOTV launch party at 200 BarCrafts can happen. It is possible. It has happened before. But doing so will require everyone - Blizzard, industry, the community - on the same page. We need to put in work; we need time; and we also need a little luck.

And maybe, just maybe, it might be the little miracle this game needs right now.

If not, at least it'll be one hell of close off to this chapter of our shared lives.

Sound the horns, alert the Men. It's time for one last hurrah.

Thank God and gunrun.

SC2 is not dead and I don't foresee it dying anytime soon as it's the only RTS around at the moment... Just not comparable to the massive MOBA's like Dota 2 and LoL which can be attributed to many reasons such as an entire new genre of game (Action-RTS), F2P etc... I do hope that LotV irons out some of the issues present in HotS and perhaps brings a lot of new blood to the game. However this idea is awesome and would be cool if it actually happened!

I'll pledge my attendance to any barcraft that should arise in my area for the launch!

I smaller scene doesn't mean the game is dead or will be dead!

Heck we still have BW almost every day, so how come we won't have SC2?

on the other hand i would drink a few beers while watching some SC2 with my fellow nerds

And who are you, the magistrate said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a Craftsman of an older Star,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of blue or a coat of chrome,
a marine still takes aim,
And mine is true and sharp, my lord,
as true and sharp than yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Koprulu,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Blizzard can work miracles and save SC2. Just give us BW 2.0. Not hard
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings
