I agree. I can see them charging $10+ for in game tickets and other stupid nonsense already!

They already made like 4 million on the compendium. And Dota 2 always charges for in client viewing(except for TI3, which just had the compendium).

While SC2 might not be at it's greatest of primes, e-sports certainly is :D. Let's not confuse the two, as SC2 is probably out of the upcoming MLG because there are e-sports which attract a bigger viewerbase.

So as a reaction to MLG dropping SC2 you are suggesting to spend money on their merchandise? I see the logic you are trying to apply, but sorry, nobody should throw money at this organisation hoping to maybe get something back.


You don't like MLG, then don't support them. its quite simple.

Its not about me liking them or not. I just dont see your point in supporting someone who just dropped your game?

Doesn't make sense for them to cut out SC2 now. They really should only have two reasons for this: 1. something related to WCS and Blizzard or 2. they're planning something else for SC2 in particular.


I wish they'd give us more than a tweet, at least to have a clearer picture of what's going on in their minds about SC2.

It would obviously suck if MLG would drop SC2 but I've seen pretty decent viewer numbers for WCS EU this week; So please refrain on the "SC2 is dying" please.


If SC2 esport is heavily dependent on the sympathy of Blizzard it is dying.

Weird to say it, but I guess it's kinda okay with me, because there simply is TOO MUCH SC2 events/tournaments! It's hard enough to follow WCS alone. Missed out completely on ASUS Rog, although it has always been a nice tournament, but there is not enough time to follow all that stuff.

Why can't there be less events with more actual focus on those... I MISS YOU, TSL3!!!

Halo died when MLG dropped it. The Fighting games case is unique, because they're not Esport games to begin with anyway.
Starcraft can live okay with only the european and the korean scene, it's not like the game is gonna vanish any time soon.

But seriously, what do you expect people to do ? Say " It's okay, we'll have a event next time. No big deal. " ?
Why do people and especially Esport personalities are surprised that people are angry and scared about this ?


Your halo point is true, but the fighting scene is still alive and well. MLG could revive a good portion of the fighting game community, however the fans are pretty toxic (the players themselves are mannered).

I don't think anyone is surprised that people are angry when their favorite game to watch is getting the plug (from their favorite tournament none the less). However, the logic and reasoning, and all the conspiracy people toss about is fun to watch.


Fighting games and MLG was a very small episode of what fighting games are.
The FGC exist for almost 20 years, and has always been a separated case.
Because it's an offline game, it's something that come from the arcade, it's something that manage itself because everything is community made.

It's very hard to compare that to which games MLG usually run.

What? Compendium and MLG are completely different. Compendium is an optional way to support Valve and the players alike. It also comes with a bunch of cool stuff.

MLG tried making PPV events in SC2 with 8 players, has nonstop Doritos commercials, 480p streams, and money grubs at every possible corner. That's why I don't like them at all, because other tournaments just do it better.

What will they have to replace it I wonder. SC II really drives there viewership numbers. Call of duty ghosts will be out, but CoD doesn't attract the numbers SC II does. Maybe the next Halo Maybe Dota 2? I would love to see more dota 2 lan events. I still really don't like how blizzard is handling the wcs.

WCS AM is all korean just about, which kills


Correct me if I'm wrong but CoD had 50k viewers last MLG, I don't think SC2 got that many more than that.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean they can't charge for in client viewing. MLG is trying to make money and isn't back by "steam sales" to fund all their efforts. Compairing the two is not really fair on any level.

Anyone who thinks that are seriously deluding themselves. As low an opinion as I have about MLG, I can't possibly imagine that they would be that stupid. They've opened themselves to a whole lot of badwill. Coming out later and going "ha ha ha, just kidding, we'll have something after all" might make people go "yay I'll watch MLG", but it will make them go "yay I'll watch MLG, those wankers".

the writing has been on the wall since the WCS announcement. they can't lure premier players with a capped prize pool and frankly blizzard wouldn't mind seeing their own tournament becoming the only source of competition.

But they have not actually ruled out having sc2 at the event.

All right folks, I figured it out:

The next MLG Championship event is being held on 22-24 November.

Blizzcon is being held Novermber 8-9, with the championship that weekend. Why hold a SC2 event after the world championship? It seems a little redundant.
