The kind of things people say when they don't want to hear the truth.. or at least debate against it. We come here because some of us still play (I still do.. not very often ,but I still do), and hope that SC2 dev team gets replaced by competent people because we've been waiting for a good sequel for quite a while now. If SC2 was D3-tier, we wouldn't even bother, but there are a few things in game that doesn't make it the deep game that it should be. And also, Team Liquid is not only about SC2. It's about most MOBAs and BW/SC2, as well as having off-topic discussions. People have the choice of not liking SC2 and still come here. | ||

I didnt follow broodwar, the quality of the games is lower, I prefer the allkill format over the 'normal' one, but despite all that i like PL more then GSTL. Is it only because of the FPL?^^ one word... EG-TL =P | ||

no, its not that. yes, it is one factor for sure, but i also like to watch matches without them. and i forgot to say: i never like GSTL that much, always preferred GSL by quite a large margin (for example i bought every ticket for GSL since mid 2011, but never bought one for GSTL) | ||

I've paid for the GSTL maybe like a month or two, but realized the only time I ever watch it is if I catch it live.. and then I don't watch pvp, pvz nor zvz which are three embarassingly bad matchups to watch. Therefore, with the acutal racial distribution, I simply don't watch much tournaments. | ||

I agree with many above me, though, I think GSL will remain the premier league in Korea. | ||

Now we're stuck with a second rate version of Broodwar that fewer and fewer people are playing and watching. Things will turn around with HotS but only for a few month. SC2 is dying. Funny, that's exactly the kind of post people on this thread predicted would surface at the very start. This is pretty idiotic to think that just because a BW league is not focusing on SC2 as much as LoL it means SC2 was dying. OSL was NEVER a big part of SC2 and probably never will be, at least certainly not as big as it was for BW. The only way idiots on forums could justify statements like "SC2 is dying" would be if a tournament that was ever actually a big asset to SC2 were to stop broadcasting it. | ||

I guess we can extrapolate a bright future for SC2 with two expansions still to be released. There was less than a year between the release of WC3 and its expansion, there is almost three years between the start of competitive SC2 and Heart of the Swarm. Any hype for SC2 has long died down by now with viewer numbers cut in half since last year. Furthermore, The Frozen Throne had more changes than Heart of the Swarm. (and imo, is likely the better game) I don't know what happened to Blizzard, but it just seems so odd to me that they have doubled their development time and have gotten less results to show for it. | ||

You have no idea what you're talking about in regards to viewer numbers, and the amount of time I've corrected people on this is getting ridiculous. Viewer counts are still rising, there's just so many tournaments the viewers are more spread out. Fr example, why would you give up your weekend to watch NASL, when you could watch IPL next week? Please actually check your facts before blindly jumping on the 'OMG SC2 IS DYING' bandwagon. | ||

If you could, would you demonstrate the information on viewer counts you have? I understand the logic behind your statement, I would just like to see the proof. | ||

I understand the logic behind your statement, I would just like to see the proof. If you watch the drunk State of the Game, they have Sundance on and he explains it all. That and they repeatedly talk about the current over saturation in the scene right now. I'm pretty sure I've heard it in other places too, but it's one in the morning right now so I can't be bothered finding them ^^ EDIT: Oh and to those moaning about HOTS here is Artosis' rather sensible take on it:http://scdojo.tumblr.com/post/33810525615/sigh | ||
