KT pays him a salary of around $200,000+ a year. He's pretty safe.

I can't seem them dropping sc2, people will still watch big weekend tournaments.
Big weekend tournaments will always do better than anything else because It's what we ( the starcraft 2 audience ) " grew up with ".

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?

Plus it's more conveinent to watch, plus more fun as it's all over in 2 days. Also more foreigners and such.
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.

Indeed. 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.

I'm not sure if I like WCS AM/EU more than more frequent weekend tournaments, I guess It's too early to decide. Even though it was insane I will miss super November's where we had a tournament every single weekend of the month, sometimes 2 per weekend.

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!

A Zealot just chased down a Colossus and killed it...
I have now seen everything. Good night everyone. :p

kill off that god damned pylon. HERO!
edit: aaah finally.

I think Hero has still Archons stuck between the pylons at his natural or did he free them?
I wish Proleague had a better Observer :/
Edit: okay, he got them free. We wouldn't have seen that if not for the Zealot-runby of Jangbi

Protoss is the recycling race, every unit is made from another unit. Archons, Stalkers, Immortals... goons in sc1.
