Back when SC2 fanboys still had the delusion of becoming the biggest eSport in the history of everything ever. Meh I don't think that was an unreasonable prediction, though I am biased because I thought it was possible that SC2 would be the biggest game. It was looking strong for awhile too, but I would say Blizzard is most at fault. They didn't show nearly as good of support as Riot did when it came to promoting events or even for their own hosted events. On top of that they let the meta get very stale in my opinion. Maps all had to be structured a certain way. Things like broodlord/infestor wasn't changed for a long time even when Blizzard acknowledged it as a problem. Meh...  | ||

I think the big thing is that Blizzard's main source of income wasn't SC2, whilst for Riot LoL was everything. Blizz likes milking out WoW/D3 more, and with Hearthstone they will probably have a better profiting game than SC2 is. | ||

I was very into SC2 around release but became disillusioned pretty quick at the end of 2010. It was very apparent that SC2 had failed in Korea, LoL was already getting huge numbers in early 2011 (I remember 100k+ for a CLG vs. TSM scrim, there wasn't a lot of stuff going on back then though) and honestly Blizzard's behaviour is and was just predictable from how they treated their other games like WC3 and WoW Arena. | ||

WoW Arena was a mess though and the pace at which D3 was updated was just hilariously sad. Paragon levels got added like 6 months?! after release I think and PvP 10 months later. I honestly think that Blizzard is still stuck in the 90's / early 2000's expansion model and just can't adapt to the modern fast content pacing of companies like Riot. I mean just look at Hearthstone, the game is insanely popular but they are doing things at a snail's pace. | ||
