its not really more 'drama' per-say but more like another layer of the onion being peeled away on the existing state of the SC2 scene. Money has for some time being drying up in industry and most visible in 2012 with the whole sky is falling drama. This is really a continuation from the drop in player base and the tightening of the stream and ad revenue. The bust of the boom as it were. No doubt HotS will create another mini boom so there will be something worth sticking around for but perhaps the main over arching issue that I can see is that blizzard has little incentive to commit a team of developers to sc2 on a daily basis because their goal is sales and not player numbers and this is killing off the community.



I don't really see how mTw folds is really relate to the state of SC2 scene. There are better examples than this case.

Sad to see this. Dimaga leaving after been there for soo long was a huge suprise. Really sucks when players get burned like this. Hopefully Dimaga finds a new team fast!

Progamers of eSport should be paid before each month before they start playing for their team. Much like how I have to pay my internet bills before I use the internet, and if they refuse to pay.. then no work... simple as that,.
I didn't want to work so I didn't.

It's quite normal to receive a paycheck after, you know, have done your work. Kind of like how you pay phone bills after you... made calls.

*Insert esports event/organization* not paying players or going bankrupt. I'd be more surprised if this didn't happen once every few months for the past 8 years.
