Korea does not care about Starcraft anymore... can you believe it? | ||

This game doesn't have the depth nor the potential of Brood War. We have made thousands of posts about what should be changed ( not balance) but the only ones who can change the actual decline is Blizzard.. not the viewers, not the leagues, not the players, not the teams. | ||

It's kind of sad that we can't have one big happy esports family though, no need to be mean to LoL Good on them that they have support from some of the most professional guys in esports | ||

Does the creator of LoL charge tournaments for using their game also? Riot games (The creator of LoL) sponsors the esports scene heavily, even paying salaries to the progamers they feel are the most official. They sponsor all the tournaments, etc., but at the same time, the scene is basically based upon them, it's not nearly as organic as ours. | ||

I think chances are good that there will be another OSL before the release of Heart of the Swarm in March. This fits with DoA's hints and the notion that leagues will only switch to HotS roughly a month after its release (when most inconsistencies will have been ironed out). | ||

I can barely get hyped for PL due to the quality of play being consistently worse than GSTL's. | ||

They don't sponsor The Champions though, that tournament has been getting better sponsors in Korea than what Starcraft in the last 2 years. This doesn't bother me at all though, the OGN LoL tournament is extremely entertaining and it just seems to be getting bigger and better. It's just a little weird to say that Korea doesnt care about Starcraft anymore. | ||

Well, at least Kespa knows that all-kill format is only for entertainment and not a true test of team skill. Hence they only have 2 out of 6 rounds being all-kill, because all-kill is entertaining. That's why I like proleague better than GSTL. | ||

Hm i'm not sure I know gomtv has said they are switching as soon as hots is released, I imagine MLG/IPL/NASL will do the same. It would be weird though to have half the tourneys doing hots while the other half do wol lol.

But since it is always AK I could care less for it :/. | ||

Being a Street Fighter fan, I remember when the scene declined but it's vibrant as ever again now. I think as SC fans, we just have to have faith, keep playing, and keep supporting the game we love. Fads go in and out of fashion but we'll always love this game and I'm sure another time for us will come. OSL and SC2 FIGHTING! | ||
