So no you cant compare wow to starcraft by looking by the numbers of players... PvP is the smallest part of WoW...it's like calling pokemon small because there's no tournaments. It's hardly even a part of it. | ||

So no you cant compare wow to starcraft by looking by the numbers of players... people are just looking at it from a player point of view because it directly contradicts Incontrol's assumptions about TB. TB's WoW vids get tons more views than his SC2, he would get more money doing the WoW stuff. | ||

Starcraft lost FIFTY PERCENT of its players on ladder between season 1 and 2. 50%. Does that mean its dying Lutto? | ||

I love Lindsey man (she's my wallpaper at the moment, you know, the protoss picture thing), and i hope she stays here and improves as an asset to #ESPORTS, but to compare her to TB as though she's better is a joke. I look forward to the day that Geoff is in the headlines for winning a tournament, rather than showing of serious symptoms of the foot in mouth disease. | ||

There is no expansion on the horizon, and no booming stream/tournament viewership. | ||

I don't even like TB's casting, I'm not going to lie I find it a bit annoying but do you know what? I respect him as a person, he does a lot for this community. Totalbiscuit sponsored the UKUTL (not big enough for incontrol to have heard about I'm sure, as he is too busy getting his ass handed to him in every major tournament him enter) with his own money. His. Own. Money. £450 of it in fact. That isn't a small amount of money. You have no idea what you are talking about Inc, go fuck yourself. Btw WoW isn't 'on the decline' - Over 10 million people are still active, 10 times the amount playing SC2. So TB switching from WoW to sc2 for money purposes makes no sense. You do realise Geoff was a caster of the NASL? Did you read the interview? xD He had no input into anything. I alsop like how you revert to personal insults towards Geoff to try and get your idiotic point through, Geoff has given more to this community than you could ever imagine, he won't ever read your post, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. I didn't realise that people HAD to like eachother? YOUR POST IS KILLING E-SPORTS. To add, you're an idiot. User was warned for this post | ||

Wow is dead as an esport (Arena) and they are loosing people, its not going to die instant no and it will prob not die at all but its not what it once was and its slowly climbing down and will continue to do so until blizzard do something. I played wow for several years cleared all pve got gladiator etc and its not was it once was. And starcraft ladder is doing the same aswell yes but the game as an esport is only growing. | ||

New content got released 3 weeks ago. And again, as many people said, WoW's popularity has barely anything to do with tournaments/streams. There is just a huge amount of content available to anyone and new content is being introduced every now and then. | ||

 .But I must add my voice to the ones feeling somewhat puzzled regarding the TB comment. I'm not a big fan of his casting, but to say he's just in SC2 to make money feels very inaccurate. As others have pointed out, he makes far more money on other content on his youtube channel, he also organizes showmatches and that tournament of his. Not to mention all the new people he introduces to SC2 because of his broad viewerbase on youtube. | ||

That was my point, WoW doesn't have that stream/tournament factor to balance its player loss. If people aren't playing SC2, they're still watching streams which help promote the game. If people aren't playing WoW, they're playing something else. | ||

If by great thinker you mean someone who can use high school level debate tactics to try and refute everyone with a different point of view than him, then you are right. I encourage you to take a look at his post history and how he responds to people. Focus on the person rather than the argument, check. Level so many accusations it is impossible to defend, check. Create an extremely exaggerated case of what the opposition is saying then attack the straw-man, check. Ignoring what is being said and instead of refuting it changing the topic to something you have more knowledge about, check. Questioning the motives of those making arguments against you, check. These techniques work on people who can't see through them, don't be one of them. | ||

That is, if too few people watch his Starcraft 2 content, he will not produce it. So, Incontrol's statement about him is absolutely, positively correct. If TB fans have a problem with that, insult TB, not Inc. Evidence please. | ||
