The US scene was on life-support already before WCS came along. Ya can't blame Blizz for its current state.
It's crazy how the mindset in the SC2 community has changed since a couple of years ago. Now everybody wants the developer to put in tons of work to keep the scene alive. But it can't work that way. You need a casual player base, amateur tournaments, etc. The problem with the US scene in 2013 is simply that too few people play the game. It was different in 2010.
Look at Valve. All they do is throw one big tourney a year (International). But you bet that there's TONS of other Dota 2 tournaments going on.

starting to go the war3 route. first, NA players can kinda compete and so they have players and fans. as time goes on, they increasingly cannot compete anymore, many just gg out (or ragequit), the fans stop watching starcraft. the scene turns from the main scenes being KR, EU and NA to the main scenes being KR, EU and China.

What? NASL was total shit imo. Like their offline finals had 20 spectators, because noone bothered to go there to witness all the issues they had online whole season long, season after season. I mean, nobody watched WCS AM anyway, so I guess this wont hurt.

Seasons 1 and 2 were bad, 3 and 4 were very good. 3 was the best with the Canada final, Canadians generally like SC2 more than Americans.

Am I the only one who enjoyed MLG's coverage? I thought it was fine, and I liked the Axel/Axslav combo.

I hope they don't have a big focus on bullshit extra content. I just really want to watch the games and interviews with players.

Personal opinions don't require evidence? Also, mining out was super fun and really dumb. I loved NASL's goofy stuff and they should bring that back.

You do know that "bull shit extra content" was so that we didn't have 15 minutes of the New York Skyline + Traffic Cams while they were setting up for the next match, right?

blizzard "were gonna have to let you go"
mlg "PLEASE DONT!!!"
blizzard "you sucked big time, now either say you are leaving wcs or we are gonna have a problem"

Anybody knows something about this ?
It'be interesting and in America's interest to have give a few PL seeds to smaller region locked cups (like this Copa America thing or Shoutcraft), and it seems better idea than just entirely region locking the league.
Yeah, just like GOM gave charity seeds to foreigners. It creates hype and views, everything WCS AM lacks.

Yay i was giving up on wcs the best of 1z in the osl made me sad. So happy love nasl

Perfect. Feel like this is the way to hhave done it to begin with. NASL for the daily content, MLG for the weekend LANS. Its each strength and it makes much more sense. So excited for season 2!!!

I'm happy this will dispel rumors of NASL's demise, and the return of one of my favorite leagues. Knowing NASL and their online content, they will do well with the WCS management and really bring a top-tier performance. Their specialty has been online, and since a good portion of WCS NA is online, they won't face as many issues as MLG encountered. And after the finals of NASL Season 3 and 4, I think they will do good with the offline portion.

Season 4's attendance was horrific.
Season 3 had solid attendance.

Happy with the decision.The na scene mlg/nasl chaos was the last piece of the puzzle keeping the growth of sc2.Now na will have a solid proscene with nasl doing what they know best:leagues and mlg doing exciting pro tournaments.Finally the dust has settled and the sc2 na scene can enter a new era of prosperity and viewership just like the eu and kr scenes

Wow, I like it! MLG Tournaments always were great events, but WCS seasons as a series lasting for several weeks does fit the "NASL Experience" so far much better.
Also great to see BitterDam back on a much more regular basis!! :-D

ahhhhh IGN casters with NASL casters is gonna be so good. NASL is gonna provide us with the best content outside of the matches too. good shit!
