How is MLG killing Esports exactly? They have always used the games that bring the most viewers, if SC2 isn't doing that anymore, then of course MLG won't bring it back.
MLG is not killing Esports, SC2 is killing SC2.

I remember them announcing at Anaheim in the SC venue that the next MLG would be in Columbus in November. What a scumbag move to later announce that they won't even have SC.
Goddamnit.

Missed something? IEM New York Also Robert Ohlen's dream is to have dreamhack in us :D Not to mention Red Bull LANs. I do not think MLG is leaving SC2 altogether They are not going to do SC2 at one of their events. MLG Columbus is only 2 weeks after Blizzcon. So after the biggest SC2 event of the year people are supposed to get hyped again? I feel SC2 should really have an Off Season of 3-4 months a year. This post makes a lot of sense.
I agree as well. An 3-4 month off season is good for the scene. It can't be all SC2 all the time.

It'll help me catch up at work since I won't have tournaments to be watching constantly.

what? i've literally played over 1k games and very rarely have problems with the client.

Agreed. Still have to call Sundance on his bullshit though because this was the most drama inducing petulant child bullshit way of announcing anything _ever_

I've personally never had any issues with Games for Windows Live. It doesn't mean that it's not a giant steaming piece of shit that heaps of other players have issues with, however. (Not that Dota 2 is such.)

I'm overwhelmed by the current selection so end up watching not much, OSL/GSL only really.

I think its funny that you insult other people that don't know an american progamer that manages to qualify for Season 1 WCS NA premier league just to fall out of it again in S2 and had some wins in a MLG losers bracket. Truly achievements that get you worldwide sc2 fame.

MLG trying to kill E-Sports
starcraft isnt all of esports, in fact its one of the smallest games out there, so not having it isnt very bad for mlg's perspective

wow this is in stark contrast to the last few years, where sc2 was the really big draw for MLG and the main reason they grew so much over the past few years. Now (apparently) it isnt even necessarily profitable (if it was why wouldnt they have it) to have sc2 in one of their events.
How much has the sc2 scene shrunk over the past year, just curious because i dont really follow it that much anymore, i may watch a match here or there every few months, but i used to spend hours upon hours a week watching it, so its a lot harder to gauge its popularity now.

Good point, there's probably too much sc2 content with WCS right now.

What the fuck game are you talking about? The Dota 2 client is buggy as hit. It kicks people all the time. The entire TL and giant bomb community cannot be wrong.

He is a progamer that spends a decent amount of time on the very website that the guy claiming not to know him is posting on, he doesn't need global fame in order to be known here.

I have to say the only proper bug I've experienced is the Dota 2 network being down recently (which I think is due to TI3).
Oh, and the lag at the beginning of every game when the heroes load.
