The statement is completely without merit. | ||

When a scene becomes more competitive because more money, etc is involved then players become better as a result. Better coachig, etc. Now try to take that and use it with (korean) starcraft. Also i am just saying how i interprete his tweets and it makes some sense. Even though i think that decision making, etc is a skill as well obviously, but that doesn't seem to be included in his version of "skill" | ||

Better coachig, etc. Now try to take that and use it with (korean) starcraft. Yes when people practice more they become better. But the claim is not just that the improvement has slowed down. The claim is that the players have become worse. So how do the same players become worse. Explain that to me. All I heard was "guitars" and "koreans aren't dominating anymore". | ||

But on the other hand, like heroes or Hearthstone, might be fun to play (not for me) but hard to enjoy as an esport. | ||

We just don't know yet. All we know is it's popular in Korea and Blizzard is pumping money into it like they used to for sc2. | ||
