I think in China DOTA type games are still dominant, and SC2 is vastly different from those games. Maybe it takes time, because this game is TOUGH!

But this is what happens with games over time. SC2 has been out for a year, a lot of people play some and then move on to other new games that come out. Surely a lot of people try a game, play it like mad for a couple of weeks/months and then play the next big thing, be it BF3, Skyrim, Arkham City, that game which must not be mentioned by name, etc. etc.

These numbers are too be expected with any new game, and more so with such a sophisticated and complex game like SC2.

DOTA dominates the game TV channels, because it's free, it's established, it's a blast to LAN with your buddies, it's easier to get into. If you go to a typical college dorm where 5 or more guys share a room in a building full of those rooms, they'll most likely be LAN'ing DOTA or CS. 20 RMB per month (about 3 USD) may not sound like that much to non-Chinese, but it's a pretty big deal for college kids and young people who drive the Chinese game market which free-to-play MMOs (in glorious 2D) and pirated DOTA/CS rules.

Interesting data but not surprising. I've been playing since early S1, NA server and more recently I started playing on the KR server. I've seen a good deal of friends quit playing over the seasons for various reasons. I'm almost at that point as well now, 1v1 ladder is about the last thing i'd do for fun anymore (TvP anyone? Jesus Christ..) and team games got stale a while ago. The custom games in SC2 have not captivated me in the slightest whereas I remember playing customs in SC1 and WC3 for months and months after I had given up on the standard play. At least for me personally, most of the people I know who are quitting are just switching to Dota2 because its so much more fun.


Fun and easier to play...

WC3 is also still pretty big in China, so maybe that explains it a bit too.

I frequent custom games a fair bit these days and about 50% of the players there have never played a ladder game or havent in the last few seasons.

I completely stopped laddering (and playing sc2 for that matters), but I still actively follow all the tournaments (just bought the yearly pass for gomtv). Playing sc2 is just way too stressful for me (ladder).
