Yeah, SC2 and BW were fighting each other for the spotlight in 2010, while LoL/MOBAs (and now battle royales) slowly but surely grew behind them before eating them ;;

By that same logic, as people have left the SC2 scene, they should have gone to BW if it wasn’t bad. Very few people went from SC2 to BW unless they were big BW fans/players in the first place. Therefore, BW must be bad. Or, maybe the two games are different enough that they can appeal to different audiences. Worldwide, SC2 has been far more popular than BW ever was. It is only in Korea where BW was huge and always overshadowed SC2. But honestly, the popularity of LoL in Korea stomped SC2 while suppressing the BW revival, rather than one destroying the other. I guess LoL is just the better game. Most BW pros did go back, same with Korean BW audience.
"Most"? How do you figure?

Breaking news: Korean Starcraft players have been 7 people all along. The men, using eye patches and artificial facial hair, deceived the general public for years.

Reminds me of that classic preview post, think it was regarding Jaedong carrying his team hard, with a bunch of Jaedong in disguises. Think someone did an homage to it with Taeja too, anyone know what I’m vaguely remembering?
