Another more interesting theory is that your pyramid is the "old" model and the "new" model is your pyramid reversed, thus the stagnation of Husky and such. I can't count how many people I have talked to that never heard of SC2 until GSL, MLG, etc. Most fans that I talk to that got into sc2 from Husky or HD or w/e are people from the Beta.
Edit: Just to be clear, I still think the overarching idea is faulty and wrong (about SC2 dying or whatever) but I just mean the pyramid part.

Yeah this is what happened to me, I watched random high viewed youtube hucky or HD videos to see how gameplay was, looked up reviews on popular sites and decided I would buy it without a computer to even run it at that time. Got into GSL free set 1 VODS, watch all of season 1 to catch up, then started watching Open Season GSL 2 live at 4 a.m. and got addicted fast.
I also think the chart is oversimplification and unless you are willing to sit down with each individual and find some type of patterns then this is all just your opinion and probably irrelevant.
