Or maybe it's due to the fact that viewernumbers for Starcraft have been declining over the last year.
Only the hardcore fans are left but every1 else has either gone to LoL, Dota2 or some other game.
Viewernumbers for Dota2 Invitational tournament are allready higher then the numbers for Starcraft have ever been ~30k viewers on the stream and like 60-70k viewers watching the games live in the gameclient.

Starcraft desperately needs HOTS and it better be good, otherwise the game will get overrun.

sc2 has had over 100 k viewers


SC2 still is an awesome game, but viewer count is declining. Hopefully HOTS spices things up a bit :/

They have a lot of staff members carrying out all sorts of tasks. James oversees a lot of the marketing stuff.

It's important to divy up the tasks to keep the team tuned like a well-oiled machine.

Possible reasons why many people skipped over watching mlg
1) Guild Wars 2
2) Kespa e-sports drama turning people off
3) Current metagame of 20mins no rush for >50% of the games
4) Others

As an avid gsl viewer reasons 1-3 were why I missed this MLG. Hope the games have been good so far!

look what happen when u go against meta game

Yes it did 1 year ago, but it has been declining rapidly since then.

Ive been watching all GSL been watching less MLG. all the other tourneys like assembly asus rog etc i watch if i am free.

too busy to watch it all.

i agree there should be slightly less tourneys to keep it interesting.

itll probably start thinning out to a couple of big guys that stick around.

So if First loses one series he is out?

No, this works like a regular (MLG) double elimination finals.


i think hes right, if first now looses (his first loss in the champ bracket) hes instantly out, there is no lower bracker for him. Seems like a flaw in this system? hero got 2 chances, first gets only 1, strange indeed


Can someone explain this? Why doesnt First get a 2nd chance but hero does, seems strange.

first does have a second chance if he loses the bo3, then it becomes a best of 7


Yes, Day9 explained this, but the rules just said otherwise, thats why i was wondering...

The extended series rule will now go into effect only if the players have met before in the same phase of the tournament. This means that a match result in the Open Bracket or Group Play will not trigger an extended series in the Championship Bracket.

As a consequence of the above two changes, extended series are not possible in the Championship Bracket except for the Semifinal matches.

The part about the one from the lower brackes has to win 2 was missing, now its clear

Yes but not now and that's what matters.

The biggest event of a new game with a 1 million prize pool has a lot of viewers? Well clearly that means sc2 is dying. Sc2's numbers aren't dropping, hsc5 peaked at 70k. It's just oversaturated as fuck, development like this is to be expected.

LoL has had far more than that. And, it gets those numbers up to the present, whereas SC typically gets much less nowadays...

SC2 don't have 30 Million active players to rely on.

So if first loses the first Bo3 it goes into a Bo7 with Taeja up 2-0 or 2-1 depending on the score?
