I know a lot of people are upset with current state of Starcraft II and the continued existence of a certain individual named David Kim, so I'm here to rescue you all from your Starcraft II woes!
There are two ways for this to happen:
Cheer up! Positivity and optimism has never hurt anyone. You're watching the game out of your own free will - if you don't want to watch right now, don't, instead do something else that makes you happy. If whining like a bitch makes you happy, you might want to take up something a little less stressful. Try watching paint try - I find it incredibly soothing.
Realise it's not so bad! I've got fucking "I love Roro" in my signature because I lost what should have been the easiest bet in history. Put your woes in perspective and realise that others have it worse.
Now that this is out of the way, here is a song to cheer you up:

This post made me love the TL community more OMG WHAT ITS MY TL BIRTHDAY
Honestly, if Prime had Maru, they would've had a good chance at the playoffs given how close all their games have surprisingly been with only Creator as a sure-fire pick to do okay. That shocks me to the core.
Also I love Prime now. Kassia is my new favorite up and comer. People talked all about Creator talking to himself but you should have seen the energy Prime exhibits.
The Prime coach(Gerrard?) must really make all his players put their emotions on a roller coaster

LOL!
But seriously, I am mostly indifferent towards SC2 now (no strong hate or love). Why hate a game when I can spend that energy to love another (League of Legends)?
Some people want to combine good game play with popularity. pro gaming, and lots of international tournaments.
Since SC2 is the only RTS with the latter three, that is not possible. That is why they are pissed. A good game is not enough for them, and popularity and tournaments isn't either. They want all three.
Since this is a problem that can't be solved, given their current desire, their anger is only natural.
As for hating SC2, it's not something I personally do. I just think it sucks, and play games that I like instead, like SC1. But I can see why people who care a lot about esports hate it, since it is taking up a spot in esports - a spot that it only has because of StarCraft 1. If it wasn't called StarCraft, and wasn't made by Blizzard, no one would care about it.

Basically the most true statement i've read in a while.
I'd much rather have Broodwar, which is more entertaining to watch play etc, than a game not worth having Starcraft in its title take up everyones attention
Too be brutally honest. Maybe people just got bored of SC 2 and that is why it seems to be in decline. I don't play Starcraft 2 much anymore. And I am not that interested in watching it. I use to tune into every tournament during WoL, I use to play at least 4 times a week. But after all of that I got bored. I think SC 2 is fine. WCS and GSL are getting good numbers, not LoL or dota 2 numbers but they aren't doing too bad.
I don't see how everyone just accepts bw as a better game. It has shitty pathing, graphics, and redundant / stupid flaws (workers without automine, no mbs, inconsistent maps/walling, retarded spellcaster mechanics, worker rally for zerg, toggle modes missing for tanks...). there is no legit indication that the skill cap is significantly or even tangibly lower than bw -kespa koreans still dominate. units clump more and there are deathball comps in tvp and zvp and mech. So what? Give and take. Sc2 is still phenomenal as an rts, no denying it.
