Valve is a 200/300 ish size firm running a horizontal hierarchy system in a single office. And people expect them to work the same ? Do someone here have a single idea how management works ? If a company has a good management, it should work both ways. That's why you have head of departments etc. Of course it's harder to manage 4.700 employees then 400 but on the other hand, the people responsible for Diablo 3 have nothing to do with the people working for the eSports department. Good interviews. Hope eSports keeps growing from year to year as it did the last three years! | ||

It seemed like he could articulate his complex opinions somewhat comfortably. I don't even know why I focus so much on their language skills, but I think that it's because my own language skills aren't very solid.

I think it's incredibly silly to compare a year long season format with almost a dozen live events to a single once a year tournament, imo Blizzard's only fault so far is trying to do to much to quickly but the potential of WCS is astronomically bigger then that if TI imo. I am not trying to say that Blizzard doesn't deserve some criticism but I am personally more critical of Valve and Riot then I am of Blizzard. The size of their streams have NOTHING to do with how "amazingly" they promote esports, I would also argue that simply because more ppl watch one thing over another does no inherently mean it's better. If that was the case why aren't we all just watching football/soccer right now? | ||

Well, to be honest, I feel like Blizzard is having trouble making their games as good as before because their Lead Designer / Developers aren't as good as before. And with how their company work, if you don't have a good lead, shit start to stockpile. | ||

If that was the case why aren't we all just watching football/soccer right now? This is a very true and important statement. There seems to be an unstated assumption here that because SC2 is less popular than LoL or DotA2 in viewership, this MUST mean that this is because Blizzard is screwing something up. It seems much more likely to me that LoL and DotA2 are simply more popular games than SC2 is. And so what if they are? Last I checked, soccer was the most popular sport in the world, but there are plenty of huge fans of other sports that couldn't care less about soccer and plenty of successful leagues for sports much less popular worldwide than soccer. I don't see basketball or hockey fans insisting that their sports are only losing out to soccer or American football in viewership because the structure of the NBA or NHL is somehow inferior. If you listen to the two interviews in the OP, they criticize Blizzard but don't have any suggestions on what should be changed except Mr. Chae's suggestion of letting organizers run tournaments as they see fit and then having a separate annual Blizzcon event. But... that's exactly what was in place in 2012, and it's not like SC2 was the #1 dominant e-sport then either. That's the year his own company, GOMTV, gave us only five SC2 tournaments the entire year, instead of nine in 2011 (counting the ST and WC). | ||
