That's not much to add guys:people watch games they like playing and actually only a small part of gaming community loves RTS

this basically.
If we look at the player-viewer ratio sc2 is doing extremely well so the problem is not that sc2 is not interesting to watch.

I don't know man, I've read some stuff on reddit that seriously contradicts what you're saying here.

You are basically just talking about the effect, what's way more interesting is the cause. Why do people like to play/watch certain games. "because it is rts" doesn't tell us anything worthwhile.
Also sure, a huge playerbase obviously helps for esports, but even there you need to convert that to an actual viewerbase. Some games do way better, if we consider the small playerbase sc2 does very well in that regard for example.

And then he got out of high school.

Kind of awesome to see that Serral breakout performance was during DH against Supernova and Jaedong and now he has a shot to qualify for Blizzon a few years later.

Understandable that serral is shy and stuff, but that's the things i am talking about. It is hard to make people care for someone like that. This sounds harsh, but people said the same about koreans and it's almost the same in this case. (at least we can understand him directly, that's worth something)

And he is still doing the same "burrow roaches to all of your bases" thing he did back then. My friend and I hyped to Serral to death while we watched those games, and we still do, the stage has just changed.
Also, I played closer series vs Serral in Finnish championship than Elazer played, that's my claim to fame

What i never understood is how he has beaten Jaedong in ZvZ, basically went tit-for-tat against Supernova and then got 2-0d by ForGG.
