There is a company in the USA that is growing fast it is called Buffalo Wild wings. They are restaurants with a sports bar concept. Chicken wings are obviously their specialty and they do have good wings. Each store has about 30 big screen tvs. 30! What if they decided to show esports on one or two of those screens? What if they decided to become a major esports sponsor and have a Buffalo Wild wings LOL team, Dota 2 team, Counterstrike Go team and a SC2 team? There are 1200 of these. The idea is to expand our sport. You are right, there are many opportunities to find sponsors, however the sponsors are paying to improve their image and becoming famous. I am not really sure that a new sponsors investing in eSport to promote his restaurant would invest in Starcraft 2 but mostly in Dota 2 and LOL. And if you have 2 screens showing eSport matches, it will be Dota 2 and LOL, not starcraft. | ||

Blizzcon should be 12 KR/4 foreigner at the most, or maybe take top 16 KR and top 16 foreigner and make them duke it out for the 16 blizzcon spots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | ||

He seems to have regained a lot of his old form, he's #1 on the KR ladder and has played well in a couple online tourneys. Also won HSC with a mixed performance (beat Gumiho and ByuN but struggled against foreigners at the same time). Can't really say for certain that Zest is back until he plays in some big offline tournament, but it seems like he isn't trash anymore, at least. | ||

Zest is missing some real nice opportunities because he was struggling in qualifiers or group. The recent IEM in Shanghai, GSL season 3 and now today Masters Coliseum a very very prestigious tournament of all Korean players. Zest lost in group 1-2 way back in July 2nd. It's such a tough tournament that TY, Solar, SOS, Classic and Alive also did not make it out of group. Would have been a huge morale boost for Zest to do well in that. | ||

Because people are beginning to realize that HotS was a better game and are trying to bring it back bit by bit. | ||

I feel like a lot of people have selective memory of HotS. Yes it was incredible at times but it was god awful at some points. Although I do prefer the older economy. Did anyone watch the afreecaTV race wars a few months back? (The rest of LotV is ok, new units and stuff) | ||

Sometimes Blizzard tries too hard to improve the game but it is the best game ever invented. Funny that so many people said that LOTV was an attempt to be more Broodwar like. Broodwar is more like Hots. | ||
