I don't believe that for a second. Despite all the "this game is dying to LoL" bullshit, SC2 is still very profitable and doing VERY well. Shadowrun is a dead game, SC2 isn't. If MLG drops SC2 next year, I'd be shocked. What would they replace it with? It can't make any less money for them than Call of Duty. The game consolidating into fewer, more prestigious tournaments with higher payouts is a good thing. Back in 2011-2012 the game was over saturated with a dozen different tournaments/online leagues/something going on every weekend. | ||

Don't you say that about ShadowRun :/ Or wait, you're talking about the computer game? | ||

I think it does need a change though, WCS is shit organized BUT it is a good way to do things. 3 Events a year with 1 big finals at BlizzConn. Then you just need your IEM/MLG/DH 1 or 2 tournaments in the downtime of WCS and i would be happy. You don't want too many tourneys or it becomes stale fast. | ||

It would be nice to hear news about Anahiem tho but I think they haven't said much about the event overall not just the sc2 part. | ||

WCS should be its own thing like it was last year. It shouldn't be tacked on to anything else. I've always hated this lets run two tournaments at once thing. | ||

I feel like the WCS kinda killed that for us. Staying up to watch MLG three days straight online or even in person was tons of fun. And the massive brackets with double elimination! | ||
