It's still a bit scary to see that our game seems to have stop growing. Not saying it's regressing, it's just not really getting bigger. | ||

I could see an event with Dota 2, CoD and a bunch of fighting games. That would be pretty sweet and a change of pace. | ||

just look at the viewer count a single LoL pro's stream gets more views than WCS America premiere league early stages So WHY invest in sc2? MLG good job, nobody can blame you guys for making a sensical decision | ||

This makes me laugh. And ya, I doubt they're going away from sc2 completely... must be a reason/catch somewhere | ||

Not saying it's regressing, it's just not really getting bigger. I would say WCS is a pretty big form of getting bigger. Just because one tournament might not be doing SC2 doesn't mean that growth as a whole has stopped. | ||

Considering viewers do have the option of following more than one game, I fail to see how the success of a particular game is bad for another one in the context of e-Sports. If anything it's not Dota or LoL killing Starcraft, it's Blizzard. | ||

With no SC at MLG's it would really put a lot more pressure (if there wasn't enough already) on NA players to preform well at WCS - which really isn't looking to good Makes you wish people hadn't killed off all the small NA-cups. Well, sucks for american players but personally I don't care. | ||

MLG good job, nobody can blame you guys for making a sensical decision I don't see how you would know if it's worth it or not, our viewer numbers are not terrible, sure they aren't growing but they are stable. | ||

FML. :/ .. If it helps they will probably just announce it at a later date, I can't see any reason to drop it after the success of MLG Anaheim, and this just feels like Sundance is winding us up. | ||

MLG good job, nobody can blame you guys for making a sensical decision This is kind of a shitty argument. "A single regular season NFL game gets more viewers than the WCS AM finals". That doesn't mean that its impossible to make money on SC2. | ||
