WoW was also probally growing 2 years in, and you could also add games that switch to F2P if you are really want to. maybe i should have been more specific and compare apples to apples. what rts game. | ||

Well, to counter you, incontrol is one of the reasons I love the show. Not sure why you'd boycott all onemoregame stuff just because of incontrol on inside the game O.o Honestly that sounds like the same mentality of the people messaging sponsors about not supporting an entire team because of the actions of one player. | ||

Also with the way the HOTS beta is going I don't think there is much hype going into a new expansion at all. stop fucking quoting the MVP shit..he even said he made a mistake wtf Saying sc2 is dying is still bullshit though. If sc2 is dying, wc3 never lived, neither did BW outside of Korea. People need to chill the fuck out. They are litereally tournaments going on every day and we have a big lan almost every weekend. I think most people who say sc2 is dying weren't around in eSport for very long and don't realize how big sc2 actually is compared to what used to have in the past... There are threads on reddit with like 1000 comments discussing if sc2 is dying, it's quite funny that people don't see the irony in that. | ||

Holy fuck YES they are 'professionals' AT PLAYING A FUCKING VIDEO GAME, you can't hold their etiquette up to the same standards as professionals in other fields. YES we should curtail bullshit, like the stephano comment, orb's comment, etc BUT please realize that we are arguing over a video game. and YES i know we want to go as mainstream as we can, but even in the perfect world scenario professionals in say goldman sachs are going to still act a lot more 'professional' than pro gamers ever will 'if' esports hits mainstream. if this shit honestly offends you, this is the wrong scene to be following | ||

How is taking passive action the same mentality as taking active actions? Oo And I wouldn't even call it action, I just dont feel like it. If i will then i'll watch. Anyway Wheat pissed me off aswell but hey, do what you wanna do. you are allowed to like incontrol just as i am allowed not to (: | ||

That's what everybody agreed on. However, to actually do something about it and how, was the main dispute. | ||

They are litereally tournaments going on every day and we have a big lan almost every weekend. Nobody is asking a very important question about this though. Are those big lans profitable right now? If they are not they can't last unless the scene grows or the discover much better business models. (ppv didn't seem to work) And thats why a lack of growth or shrinking viewers should be a large concern. | ||

I started watching BW around I think a Jaedong OSL finals on some beach, and it had 5k viewers which I thought was a lot back then. Also the reason people are saying it is dying is because we went into WoL with a ton of hype, and now we are going into another expansion with no hype/the same old. | ||

And i won't debate that, but I do not consider iNcontrol as one. I'm pretty sure his main income is not his stream revenue and other than that I do not see him "game". he was a pro gamer, he isn't one now. You are allowed to your opinion though. | ||

I don't fucking care when we don't need like 5 new posts with him being corrected when he already got corrected/apologized for his mistake like 2 posts later. post count doesn't mean jack shit about a opinion. The person could have 2 posts, but have a ton of evidence to support his opinion or you could have a 10k pc person say something with no evidence. | ||
