Please stop speculating that IPL and SC2 might die, and wait until you have enough information to do more than throw guesses out.
It's just my opinion, no need to get upset dude.

First , let's separate the SC2 trilogy from IPL.
IPL and 10 leagues just like it could fold tomorrow and the SC2 trilogy will roll along without any problems.
David Ting stated its a "5 year plan" to get IPL to become profitable. IPLs "value proposition" is a "synergy" with a high profile english language gaming web site. With this gone and no sugar daddy to pay the bills this league's viability is justifiably called into question by the average outside observer.
Making and selling video games is several orders of magnitude more profitable than is the "esports industry".
EA and ATVI are publicly traded corporations worth billions. What is the leading eSports company worth? not much
it is no surprise people question the viability of the IPL.

You didn't read MY post. There is ZERO possibility of IPL closing down from this. They are selling, NOT closing. There is no "they might close", or "there's a slight chance" because there really isn't. Unless every source we've seen so far is somehow lying, IPL will not close. Period.

Not a fan of IGN: with so many sources out there (various youtube vids) I hardly need to go to those sites for reviews and new info (I think developers also shifted from giving info to sites like IGN many years ago to releasing the info themselves in their own sites). I also find IGN's reviews to be rather... biased? They are unable to capture a lot of what essentially maeks a game good/bad.
IPL on the other hand, is very well done. It is the only league which I constantly subscribe to: they provide quality content at a pretty affordable cost (compared to say... gsl season/yearly tickets... -_-). Granted, IPL has some pretty terrible luck with some of their events, such as a large truck knocking out the internet for the entire block, but they still find ways to keep things entertaining.
Say if IPL cannot find a new home... I am curious if they can operate solely on community investment via kickstarter or something similar.

There were too many starcraft tournaments to choose from. I've always stuck with the GSL, GSTL and MLG main events because I don't have much time.

What I find strange about their reviews is that what they say is rather negative, but their scores are high anyway. "Bad gameplay, meh graphics and boring story. 9/10"

I think IPL is totally fine They just wanna put time and money in other places and projects. I hope this season of IPTL will just continue and the next IPTL will be even bigger :D Enjoyed IPTL the most.

Please stop speculating that IPL and SC2 might die, and wait until you have enough information to do more than throw guesses out. It's just my opinion, no need to get upset dude. Saying "its just my opinion" is not a response to an argument you know. But it IS a response to someone that wasn't even attempting to debate and instead was just raging. Problem is that you don't have an argument either. You're just randomly implying that the sky is falling, and when people call you out on it, you're just saying "it's just my opinion" and "we'll see".
Maybe you should reread some of my posts. I provided many different views on why I, and many others continually feel like the floor is bottoming out on the SC2 scene. Nice try though.

Your arguments are trying to extrapolate singular instances to an entire industry, while ignoring all the positive growth to accentuate the negative.
When someone calls you out on it, you fall back on some vague excuses about how it's your opinion, or you were just considering the possibility.
Your arguments were terrible.

They are not singular instances if it's a growing trend, sorry. When you see the viewer numbers dropping consistently across all players and tournaments, then you see many pro players retiring/switching to other games, then you see many teams shutting down or merging with other teams.... Come on now, use some common sense....
The only thing that has gone up is the prize pool from Gom and Blizzard, which is mostly thanks to WoW. That has nothing to do with SC2 being hugely successful at this point in time. They're trying to cover the wound with cash money, that's all that is.
