comparing f2p casual game with 50$ non casual game yeaaa

A free moba with low mechanical requirements based on a highly recognizable and very popular franchise, it can't really help but to succeed. SC2 can never compete with games like that and the comparison is kind of dumb. But yes, HotS will completely eclipse both SC2 and HS, on my word and honour as a random person on the internet.

Yeah, theres no game I´ve spent more time on than SC 2 - except for WoW maybe - BUT recently the magic just "vanished". The SC 2 matches became to repetetive... And HS is something new at least for now. And I like it + I like the commentating. 
I had the magic vanish on me before, but it always comes back. That's why I like SC2 more than any other game, because I keep coming back to it while other games lose their appeal after 2-3 months.

Heroes will be insanely popular because It's blizzard characters, I mean who doesn't want to play as illidan.
Who knows about the esport aspect though, World of Tanks has millions of players and abysmal esport numbers.

Exactly agree on point one, unsure about point two. It could indeed be hard to fight your way into a market already balkanized into LoL and Dota camps. Still, I think the huge numbers that are more or less guaranteed on twitch will attract sponsors and potential prize money.

This is kind of like how wc3 players used to play 6 months into SC2.

I've seen Arthur win with a 15minute 1 base. Nothing is lost yet.

Also, the fuck are you doing Stephano, we are 10 minutes in and not a single host on the map. Son, I am disappoint.

Why is this thread so slow. HYPE
|
Well, Grubby is in a great position now.
|
Stephano should have taken a 4th earlier and transitioned to swarmhosts, he had time. Can't believe I am saying Stephano should have gone swarm hosts rofl.
