I am not familiar with this but I'm still going to say it must have 100% crashed because those two games are fucking unwatchable and that's a leviathan understatement. I played WoW in a semi-pro manner and I still couldn't watch a single game because you couldn't fucking see anything even when you were a top 5 gladiator obsessed with the game and when I showed it to my girlfriend she had recurring seizures and couldn't tell which class I was playing or if there were actually characters on screen. And watching CS is about as enjoyable as trying to pop a stubborn zit located dangerously near your tender crack. | ||

It will commercialize everything and people will only play SC2 for the money! no people will play sc2 for the love of the game. the money is incentive to commit your life to it. same as regular sports. not one pro european football player is playing football because in his teens he was like. i'm going to make money if i do this. no they love the game and got good at it and now commit themsleves to it to sustainn them and their families. | ||

Sc2 is designed around esports and with spectators in mind - WoW and CS were not. If Sc2 was done correctly - meaning with casters like day9 and actual production value - it would be glorious. | ||

MLGSundance Sundance DiGiovanni After an hour I won't be able to read him your thoughts. Oh and of course it would be MLG StarCraft. Accept no imitations. Sigh, why i didn't read this more carefully. Definitely fine by me then. ^_^ | ||

And watching CS is about as enjoyable as trying to pop a stubborn zit located dangerously near your tender crack. WoW ratings still dominate Blizzcon, iirc. It crashed and burned because they presented it poorly with overly simplistic explanations, that turned off their core audience, and then they added in filler games that no one else cared about. I don't recall the other things that were wrong with it, but it didn't go well. WSVG probably had their own internal problems as well, but the TV time didn't save them. Your statements about WoW and CS in general are totally off, though. You should be seeking to learn from past failures, instead of dismissing them because of the game. WoW and CS at their peaks were extremely popular, and sponsor packed. | ||

I think he's correct about people's likelihood to watch on computers vs tv. The more interesting question is whether or not it will bring in extra viewers that wouldn't have already been watching by being on tv. | ||
