Happy? Schedule too close make less notable players to come, so the competition is not high, then we have less viewers, which results into less money for MLG. Money is always the reason for corporate actions. | ||

Zero proof? I know that a) MLG is a business b) business exist to make money c) the decision to omit SC2 from MLG Columbus was a business decision d) business decisions are determined by the bottom line also known as profit factor. Now you may think MLG just decided to omit SC2 because they just couldn't be arsed, but I'll go out on a limb and say it was for business reasons. | ||

You'll have to excuse dcsoda while he passively aggressively boosts his own ego by thinking that other people are making mistakes as intellectuals, for daring to intuit and, together, through conversation, to figure out the world around them. He seems to think there is something intellectually respectable about sitting around and waiting on a 'trusted' source of information to tell him what his reality is. | ||

I dunno how Blizzard is at blame for this though. MLG is the company that has routinely shown that they will fuck over the NA scene if they can get even a few more dollars out of it. | ||

TL will become a site for another game after, and this is a very mature community. They already got their DoTA2 switch on the way. Pretty sad that SC2 has been a terrible successor to BW.. Blizzard has a phenomenal legacy to respect, and just like Diablo they shat on it.. just not as much  SC2 is still an ok game, but it is a terrible game to watch. Just admit it.. I for one stopped watching it around the HoTS turnaround, and I've been very happy with LoL. I just can't wait for this community to be done with this denial, and to just move on. | ||

As long as there is OSL / SPL SC2 will still be awesome. And LoL has stagnated while Dota 2 is growing, I think that will be the esport of the future. | ||

I am going to enjoy the LoL is dying threads. Dota 2 is king follow by the then the Dota 2 is dying threads. Maybe after that, we can all stop and learn that maybe none of them are dying. | ||

How about posting that in the Dota or Lol section. As you correctly noted, these forums are already present. Why come here in a forum of people that still care about SC2 (and might think of it as a worthy successor to BW like I do) and shit on it? 'cause, that's trolling and generally being a jerk, you know... | ||

No, you shouldn't, unless you just want to bitch for the sake of it. You get what you ask for. You want early information, so you get it. | ||
