I was a quakeworld player when e-sports was invented by quakeworld people. I used to duel Reload daily before he want to Europe to take on Lakerman and Kane and Sectopod and Timber. Then CS came, Quakeworld died, it was sad, but it happens. People still play it to this day. If the game is fun and you love it, play it. In the end who gives a shit about a pro scene. It's fun to follow, it probably helps improve the standard overall, but really, if it all disappears i'll still be playing. | ||

Rationality in a rumor cataclysm thread is coming from someone named "Schism". That is hilarious. SC2 fans have officially won the world's biggest doomsday crier championships. Congratulations. I might have to literally make some popcorn if I stay in this thread, partly for the lulz and partly for the awesome music. | ||

I totally agree with you, if the sc2 pro scene declines a bit yes it will be a bit sad but I still like to play the game and there are also hundred of great vod's to watch. | ||

I think one of the reasons that SC2 caught on so much in 2010 is that many people were new to the idea of e-sports and they were primarily excited to be following the process of a developing scene. (and the promise of the game/Starcraft's iconic status and the belief in its limitless potential, which fueled this) One of the reasons there is so much gloom nowadays is because I think a lot of people aren't part of the community out of love for the game anymore (even if they did start out this way), but out of enjoyment of the e-sports scene.

Well, then the only thing I can offer is this: (this is actually one of my most favourite songs ever and I cannot understand why I only thought about it now..) EDIT: Or this, but lyrics are not so fitting.. | ||
