It doesn't cost as much money as having a WC3 team.

more popular / less costly I would assume.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

MYMs focus had always been on RTS games. So its the wrong decision even if MYM.CS is more popular than MYM.WC3.

If you asking someone for a CS team. He will answer mibr, sk or mouz, mtw and after these teams MYM. And to change an image from a RTS team to a fps team needs time.

Maybe the WC3 was too expensive. WC3 is dieing harder than SC. So this might be understandable. But why kick an almost for free (in comparison to cs/wc3) sc team with sc2 coming up. As I said its not easy to change an image it would be easier to wait for SC2 to rock foreign esport and stick with cs, dota and sc.


Wrong

MYM had always CS it started with scandinavian CS teams it had also other shooterteams before. MYM always been shooterteam on first hand ^^. WC3 was the second choice

While that's a logical conclusion, in this case I am just guessing with the rest of 'em.

It took 3 years for people to love starcraft. Starcraft wasn't something that fell from the sky and everyone just immediately picked up, it was something that we grew up with. The reason why it started as an e-sport is because it was a chance for people who loved the game to get together, then as it got more popular it became a spectator sport. But these days, when I see Starcraft fans inside stadiums they aren't fans of the game, rather fans of the progamers. WC3 didn't pick up because we never gave it a chance. Everyone just "assumed" it would be on the same level as starcraft in terms of a spectator sport.

When I see Starcraft 2, I am worried but exhilarated. I am worried we will not give it a chance like we never gave Warcraft 3, but at the same time I am excited that we can once again enjoy starcraft for what it was meant to be in the first place; a game.

God this man is such a genius.

I find Boxer to be a profound and interesting individual. He knows how to articulate himself well. He sounds like a person you could have a solid conversation with.

more popular? HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH... ur kidding.. dota more popular then wc3? get out of here

no but seriously, dota is NOT more popular then wc3. Wc3 is the best game together with SC so no. Less costly = yes. Dota players don't demand any high salaries at all

It's played by more people by leaps and bounds. It's just not spectator friendly.
With a low cost and decent popularity, it's ok to keep and not to cut. Who cares what you think the best game is? Dota is played by far more people.

For instance on GGC: This is the number of people playing dota right now. (Basically, you can maybe take off 5,000 of these max)?
124,320

Here are the number of people playing WC3 right now
4,200

so are you going to transfer to their dota team now so you can keep the tag on testie? haha

btw this is sad news for the SC scene, mym were kind of corporate as opposed to grassroots like TL but the foreign SC scene needed every dollar it could get
you wouldnt feel that way if it was *your* magical sword of mantouchery that got stolen - racebannon
