Seriously though what in the literal fuck... Kespa teams downsizing, Teams disbanding all over the place tons of players retiring etc. It looks Sc2 is hitting a pretty big rough patch in Korea right now, seems like NA and EU are still doing as they always have. Could stuff like this close the gap between Foreigners and Koreans down the road? with the NA and EU scene doing decently and the KR scene seemingly losing support and players the game might actually become more global and end up coming out stronger overall perhaps? Obviously all just random speculation I can't even really say the Sc2 scene in Korea is hurting at all from this as a fact, just seems that way. | ||

The switch may have exacerbated the situation but BW was hardly in its prime when it happened. | ||

Shaun Clark @ApolloSC2 30 Aug Sad to see the Korean scene crumbling.. Little expected though, its oversaturated for its eco system, will thin out but won't die | ||

Yes old BW players are retiring from starcraft 2, I am at least happy that they gave it a try and decided to stop. So be it. Good luck to them in the future. Starcraft 2 will continue no matter what! You don't see (or don't want to see) the big picture in the background. | ||

It already has been said that the starcraft 2 scene is over packed. Economic crisis is hitting every company. But still the starcraft 2 scene is not dying. If you can point me out what I overlooked that would be great  | ||

It's not really dying and dare I say it will never be trully dead - it will just be at the semi-pro level just like before Kespa switched - better then BW is atm with Sospa only, but much worse then LoL for example. SC2 is gonna be Special Forces to LoL's BW. No money, no stability, no real business. Kespa tried to make business out of it, they were unable to, they have to shrink (shrink SC2, get LoL bigger). It makes sense from business perspective. The only thing I wish for is, that Blizz will let Kespa coaches and officials talk into their design decision for multiplayer part of LotV, so they make the game better to watch together and people will decide to come back... | ||

ESTO + Hite = dead because of matchfixing MBCGame = killed by Blizzard's lawsuit WeMadeFox = personal financial problems as they got rid of their WC3 team + Counter Strike one Hwaseung jumped the ship. Just a a bit deds into the past. | ||

There were a few good players retiring around then, but after that if I recall correctly the Korean scene was basically a bunch of Koreans on foreign teams due to War3's popularity abroad. If all of this continues this way in SC2 all the way down the line I could see something similar happening. | ||

Nope, but lol may not either, hell even bw was somewhat far away from that towards the end. BW scene already shrank to 7 teams + 8th team and lost mbc, what made anyone think star 2 could support 7 kespa teams + 6 esf teams + foreign teams? This was going to happen no matter what and it really shouldn't be such a big shock. | ||
