He is arguing from a doomsday perspective, and LoL getting massive means they get the largest part of the eSports pie, not all the esports pie. Serious design issues in gameplay and UI is debatable, esp from just watching pros play. Essentially, all of the criticisms he brings up are things that should be written in a history textbook, not used as evidence of a dead game. | ||

No this isn't going to be changed by anything, my BW heart is cold and dead since Kpop killed MBC. Blizzard can do what they like with SC2, I am beginning to get to the point where I truly think its going to be a dead game in a years time. There is 0 probability that competitive SC2 is "dead" by May 2013. The game will still be developing as Blizzard continues to balance the game and prepares for new multiplayer units for Legacy of the Void. Frank Pierce stated he views SC2 as a 10 year eSports project and that "PC sales records" are nice, but really are nothing they are going to celebrate over. How many Blizzard games died before its expansions came out? 0 How many months/years does it take for your Blizzard games to "die" after its final expansion is complete? | ||

LOL is even stronger than BW arguably since it is also popular outside of Korea. Oh, so you people follow what's popular. I see. Maybe you don't actually give a shit about the game, maybe what you actually want is the crowds, the pretty boys, and the grandeur. That's enlightning. | ||

But popularity in society is quite important to anything being appreciated and given the attention that would do it justice. I'd still enjoy Starcraft (either one, both) even if it wasn't hugely successful/popular just to play it with whoever and watch the odd stream and occasional tournaments, but if we are talking about making a great "esport" it needs to be popular, have the audience numbers and player base so that we continually gather great players, set up great teams, show great games and build up legacies and legends that will inspire. Also, come on, don't be so negative and dismissive, of other people or other games. <3 | ||

After seeing photos of the event, I've spotted a Zenex player, an oGs player in their new uniform polo shirt, Jaedong representing Team 8, possibly Piano representing Airforce Ace, and Polt representing TSL. So everyone was there. Yeah, I'm pretty sure every Korea-based team (from Proleague and GSTL) had at least one player and coach there. ![[image loading]](http://cfile10.uf.tistory.com/image/18122D374FA0E5AF156C5E) Just looking at the above picture from pgr21.com you can already see (from left to right):  SuperNoVa from  Old Generations NesTea from Incredible MiracleJuly from StartaleLeenock from FXOpenPolt from Team SCV LifeMarineKing from PrimeYoung-Jay Paik, Blizzard Korea Managing Director DongRaeGu from MVP (team)Paul Sams, Blizzard COO Ilja Rotelli, Blizzard Global Community & eSports Director Leta from CJ EntusFlash from KT Rolster Stork from Samsung KHANBisu from SK Telecom T1ZerO from Woongjin StarsCalm from STX SouLOn other pictures (e.g. at leveltory.com) you see Jjakji from NSHoSeo and BoxeR from SlayerS, as well as coaches Choya from FXOpen, Gerrard from Prime, and the IM coach. I'm sure there are also pictures floating around showing representives from teams ZeNEX, Team 8, and Air Force ACE. | ||

The old guard on the right with the new guard on the left. My mind is still boggled. There are photos of Jaedong several posts above on this page, representing Team 8. You can see a Zenex player in the back of this photo: ![[image loading]](http://leveltory.com/files/attach/images/246/120/008/6fee1c2f98e2824af01e78e1e06322a0.JPG) Possibly PianO is in the background of this photo, as that does seem to be the Airforce Ace uniform.![[image loading]](http://leveltory.com/files/attach/images/246/120/008/d60a351503eece1b9bb99cac89fd1da7.JPG) | ||
