I think its more with the choices blizzard made a long time ago. Maybe a trilogy was too much milking an engine without having enough hypepotential to keep the masses interested. Most thought the singleplayer missions were pretty dull iirc so hyping that isnt easy. Maybe sc2+1 expansion would have been better and then you make a new engine for :"porn in the void" or whats it called and maybe add a expansion there too.

I'm still an avid watcher and fan of SC2. Can't play without getting mad as fuck, but I love the players and the scene.

Not so much the community, they are too quick to forget people.

SC2 crowd are harsh as fuck

Did they do kickstarters for LoL and HS as well? I don't remember seeing any.

Anyway, I don't care about Sc2 ESEX content so whatever. Now that Hotbid is settled into NY hopefully he can start producing more good content for ESEX in 2015

Only Dota 2, soon LoL and HS.

I care about it, but I mean, their barrage on his "business sense" just furthers someone's willingness to cater to that audience.

thats the thing...i cant play without cursing blizzard. sometimes i cant watch for the same reason..i did watch a final recently that was exciting however.

maybe LotV will change my mind. doubtful though..aoe is too easy to use and abuse with current game mechanics.

dreamhack too. maybe the kick in the ass will tell blizzard that their game sucks and that they should have reskinned the original...but thats not a multimillion dollar idea tho

The guy trying to kick HotBid's ass could not be more perserverant and offended that HotBid didn't milk the small percentage that did support him.

"Look past the views. Foster a community. Make an 'ESEX CLUB' where your VIP members get cool shit like merchandise, signed stuff, members only newsletters, etc. Get creative. Think outside the box. The fact that you got $1.5k in donations is amazing, it shows there are people that support you enough they are willing to part with their cash for nothing tangible in return. THESE are the people you should be targeting - you could potentially make a recurring membership for these people as they have already shown they are willing to part with their cash for your content. Instead you sulk that the donations didn't meet your stupid little threshold. You have the wrong attitude, and I don't think you'll succeed. But please prove me wrong. All the best."

lol wat

People can't make the distinction between a personal and a business decision. Just flame Blizzerino instead.

The amount of content at ESEX is pretty sad, tho. If I were a kickstarted backer, I'd probably be pissed.

Funding the Dota 2 section of Esports Express guarantees a few things:

ESEX coverage of Dota 2 from January 2015 to post-TI5 reshuffle

Their new content was promised to start arriving in this month, so any backer who actually read what they were backing probably wouldn't be pissed

wow DAC already broke $700k! The finals are in February, that means another million dollar tournament has appeared in the scene! Valve and PW are rolling around in $$$.

Blizz just take a look!
