LoL and Dota2 have it pretty good in that regard. But I guess just being an improved clone of the original is easier then being something different, when you have to live up to the hype of multiple years. Especially if you have competition where the disillusioned people can head back to. But it is a rather intriguing experience to see how some things don't change, while other do. And wow raging Mlg. | ||

Try to be reasonable, rational, and critical in your explanations to us so we can understand. Then we can make some real judgement on the issue instead of speculating. Though, it seems like TL has worked out a comprehensive analysis of what is going on already without directly hearing it from MLG... That speaks volumes :/ | ||

And please move the blizzard response to the top of OP since people can't seem to be bothered to read. MLG could but isn't hosting SC2 at cbus. Same news as it was 2 days ago, but now Redbull will have a sc2 event during that time...redbull did not get a license instead of mlg, mlg never applied for one (because they aren't having sc2 at the event) | ||

Red Bull is HUGE worldwide, whereas MLG is only known amongst those already into esports. Or am I missing something lol... | ||

That speaks volumes :/ they let thousands of angry messages on reddit,people renounce their mlg membership and yet the only thing an mlg employee can do is come to teamliquid and troll.says a lot about the organization mlg is.at this moment in time i do not even consider it professional anymore.literally their only luck is that the usa esports market is so small they hold a monopoly over it.really hope another na company rises so they can put some competition. | ||

I think you should forgive Adam for this little outbust there. They are prone to doing that, but its not like they meant anything bad from it. Redbull applied for the license first and MGL decided to not fight about it and just not have SC2 at the event. They wanted to let people know so they wouldn't by 100 plane tickets and may have miscalculated what would happen. It was a PR mistake, but at the end of the day, we can forgive them for it. | ||

At least SC2 expansions cost less. CoD just gives you the same game every time and sells it to you like its ok. | ||

Competitive cod ended in cod4 in like 2009/2010 (and this is really stretching it, it was floundering about dead in 08/09) and there have been 3 (4?) cod games since then that have tried to be competitive and failed miserably I played from the original (which went to the CPL) through 2009, we survived with next to no support from activision for as long as we could. As long as Blizzard exists, they're not just going to let this game "die" like everyone is currently worrying about. | ||
