Obviously its because of their parent company, but still, its kinda saddening that the guys who just won Preleague are disbanding even though STX said they would fund the team for another year. | ||

Even if sc2 was the best rts ever, I still think it would fail in korea or at least still be behind LoL. LoL is just super casual friendly and everyone can go to the pc bangs to play with their friends. I don't think a hard 1v1 game can mass appeal to people over a team game these days, especially a f2p one. Lol has what 95% of playtime in korean pc bangs and number 1 for 50+ weeks I think. An rts in today's gaming climate just would never reach those numbers now. | ||

I on the other hand, enjoy watching the League of Throws. On August 31 2013 05:58 Canucklehead wrote: Indeed. It's just a different world we live in today.

An rts in today's gaming climate just would never reach those numbers now. Not like people didn't go to PCBangs to play BW with their friends and what do you know a lot of them still do. Yes games are more casual/social media friendly more than ever, but if a product can stand on it's own and have a lot of different flavors/communities then it will go along way. There are a lot of things that could have been done different but didn't. No point going down the what if's route. At the end of the day both markets are niches, so what if one is bigger than the other. | ||

SC2 can be the best spectator E-Sport in my opinion though, but only when every game doesn't play out the same. The metagame is too stale right now, and moving in the wrong direction in my opinion with things like the MSC, Swarmhost and Viper. | ||
