to anyone who's saying that SCToo is all fine, and there's a 100+ new players and etc., don't tell me this is what a community & news headline column should look like. Also add Movie, by.hero, Shuttle and so forth who chose Afreeca and BW, and let's be clear also about the fact that while sCsC has been maybe more into LoL for a year now, CoCa and Puzzle are def not the random code B guys whose transfer does not matter.

GL for all parties, though, I hope they find what they are looking for.

What's really sad, is that you don't see any pros from any other game switching to Sc2... they're all switching out of Sc2. Sc2 is a gateway drug.

this anxiety about people going to lol is a little bit like what we felt in the bw scene when estro disbanded... is it the beginning of the end - like it was for bw?

Starcraft 2 has been out for over 2 years already. It's natural for players to get burned out from the game and/or lack of success and move onto newer and more profitable scenes. HOTS will reinvigorate the scene with a small boost. But it's not like stream numbers for big events are down or anything like that. Players are skill making huge amounts of money. SC2 is as alive and well as it's always been, people need to calm down.

Oh, the irony.


Irony because the same could be said for BW'ers switching to SC2? It was true for them, and will be even more so for the SC2-LoL switchers, as the games are more different.

yeah... right...


Put yourself in his position. You have a chronic disease that prevents you from practicing too much. You're not doing that well. You're not in the GSL even. On the other hand, KesPa pros are switching over, and are rapidly proving their dominance. What chance do you stand in the pro SC2 scene?

sC realizes it, so he switched. Unfortunate, as he was one of those players i liked watching, but not particularly surprising. SC2 scene is doing better than fine if you ask me.
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

we just got 100 new Kespa players... so of course some of the bottom feeders are going to move on to something else



Wasn't the scene supposed to grow, so it could sustain more players?
I mean, it's not like there are no skillful players in LoL. So you have to catch up on a different terrain.

But it seems, LoL is growing, so that it can absorb, feed and interest more proplayers.

yea i know, I only saw these on TL BW forum threads too, so I mean it might not be a 100% true, but I'd guess it is. ArvickHero knows what he's writing (eg. by.hero listed in the ex-pro team for the sospa showmatches).

It's also pretty obvious that people (incl. myself) are anxious because SC2 (supposedly) killed BW (before it was due) and now that might be dead too with all the players heroes teams histories they cared for so much gone, or at least shattered, for ever. The image that the flux KeSPA meant is not sustainable for the Korean SCene does not help the case, because if it would be a healthy growing market, it'd not just sustain but, like literally, suck up all the KeSPA A-, B-teams, and even underground hardcore amateurs (which it seems like is not the case).

Off topic, but this actually makes me think: When was the last time we heard about new (half)pro SC players who rocked the scene, had a good GSTL match or something else like this? Life obviously is not a valid answer, because he was around with ZeNex for a relatively long time.

sCfOu was the sole reason for my switch over to Terran from Protoss about a year ago, when I first started watching streams and I saw the finals of the LG Cinema 3D Super Tournament between sC and DRG. That series was so epic and it inspired me to start playing Terran. Although I have come back to playing Protoss at the beginning of this year, I still owe it to sC for the inspiring playstyle that he had. I just wish that less of these very good professional players would move onto other games.

LoL players change teams all the time. After the International, like half the teams in Dota2 had roster changes, died, or teams changed sponsors.

You act like LoL and Dota2 are stable when it comes to team rosters.

If 100+ players joined that means 100+ players are probably going to leave because the scene cant support it.

It's a shame to see him go. He was one of the best Terrans around when he was on form and in good health.

I think it was expected that the 'marginal' ESF and kespa players would retire when both pro korean scenes started merging. After all, if guys like Rain can be so good, so fast, what about the bw code s guys? guys like sc (who has had health issues anyways) are caught between a rock and a hard place, so they've decided to give it a try at another game while they still have the time.

HOTS will definitely be a shot in the arm of the pro scene and hopefully will be enough to sustain it for at least a couple of more years, though I'm still very doubtful we'll be playing GSL's 8 to 10 years from now. just my 2 cents.
