Wasn't following OSL SC2 as the content harkened back to the early 2000's especially when compared with the GSL. At least there's going to be less saturation of SC2 competitive scene in Korea for a while, if there is much of a scene to begin with.

These sudden transitions such as the one from BW to SC2 take time. I feel like the first SC2 OSL was really just a practice run to see how production needs to be changed and how to seamlessly transition into a scene that is already used to high-quality broadcasting and production. The imminent expansion is a perfect opportunity for KeSPA to enter the scene; there isn't much left juice in WoL (not to mention viewership numbers will jump with HotS) and the extra time in between expansions will let them polish up their production.

Well, as other people said already, let's just believe in blizzard and continu supporting the game we love. I mean, the fact that League of Legend is more popular doesn't mean that there is no place for starcraft. Just think of all the pro sports (Football, NFL, NBA, NHL, Baseball), they can all live together, i'm pretty sure Starcraft will still remain popular and people will still play/watch it and stuff

We all know, however hard people try to forget, that SC1 only became the greatest game in the history of the world once BW was released. Vanilla SC1 wasn't great at all. Same with WC3, another massive hit in Korea. If history is anything to go by, it will be HotS, more likely LotV that brings SC2 the same glory as its parent game.

Hots is a massive improvement on WoL. Anyone whos played in the beta can tell you that.

When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

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!

Exactly. SC1 was fixed with BW, why can't HotS and LotV be the same for SC2

it can. it's just it appears like the developers still don't know the proper direction to go with the game (as evidenced by warhounds)

Honestly makes me pretty hyped for HOTS lol. We are about to have a completely new game and I'm not sure people are really realizing the significance of that right now. It has the potential to have a good effect on viewership and interest I think.


Completely new game?

What are you looking at man? I don't see it.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. I would not be surprised if OGN drops the OSL for SCII eventually.

This is very bad news for those of us still hoping SC2 picks up in South Korea. Maybe HOTS will spur up interest again, but this seems more and more unlikely with each passing month.

If history is anything to go by HotS should've been out 9 months after SC2. The situations are obviously different.

Because BW fixed SC1 by adding units.. the fundamentals of the game were still great (the dynamism of it). SC2 will NOT be solved by new units.. it will help, yes, as HoTS is way better than WoL. But the fundamentals of Deathballs and maxing out on 3 bases are still present.
Dead game.

Not anyone, I assure you. Don't speak for all of us like that. I personally think HOTS is glitter on top of shit. A bandage on a quad amputation.

If OGN cannot find a sponsor for OSL then how CAN Kespa possibly justify standing in GOM's way? Always loved the GSL, even if it is pricey, and I hope it continues to grow.

With that said, I'd love an OSL to happen as well because I miss Doa

I blame KeSPA. Or at least I think they're being ridiculously retarded. SC2 is being overtaken by LoL in Korea? That's when you DON'T make dick moves to tear apart the community, deny english casts for SC2 leagues and try to keep players from entering GSL. I really really hope they get their shit together and start cooperating so we can all profit. Otherwise nobody profits.

I don't think it has anything to do with OGN specifically since the last OSL sponsor, Auction All Kill, is now sponsoring part of their LoL league. Maybe it's something along the lines of sponsors not seeing the potential for WoL.

It's sad to see this happening but then again it's what happen to BW.
I love eSports and would have gladly seen some sort of cooperation, one BIG team league with all major titles and teams to fight in.

Imo thats much better than having one big game that soaks up everything else.
(not saying that LoL actually impacts SC2 that much just as a reference)

I can't stand watching Moba games but hopefully one day I will enjoy them.

edit: Yes we do have 10other major tournaments to "worry" about but this is the sacred land so to speak, Korea.
Ofc we can live on without it but they do have the best players and always pushes the limit, if we actually where to lose any of that, SC2(for me) wouldn't be as interested as it is now.
The curse is real

Totally agree.. anyone who thinks Starcraft 2 will last more than 6-7 years are fooling themselves. 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.

The game isn't even complete yet. Both SC1 and WC3 had their real take-off after the expansion. I guess we can extrapolate a bright future for SC2 with two expansions still to be released.
