Theme of Shingeki No Kyojin, but it has the message of breaking away from the chains of oppression and overcoming obstacles, similar to what the community has to do here. Plus this song is epic. Lets hope the scene doesn't dig itself into its own ditch with this news. It's sad to see all of this go on in such a manner with such a lack of information. (again similar to SNK where they have no info on the Titans, which are destroying the civilization). | ||

They came.....they came from a land. A land that was parallel to our own, almost as if from the same creator you could say. When they left nobody thought much. They had the knowledge of the towns and cities they had come from and they exclaimed: "We shall build a land to call our own!"...and nobody batted an eye. The days passed. Their small town had grown. It was now a flourishing city, and others had followed in their footsteps establishing towns in new areas. Their growth had been unprecedented...how foolish we were then. As we gazed out across the land, taking everything in sight, we were the power. We were the Kingdom that would rule! And the future was nothing but bright and full of stars! We had but merely to walk the path. How foolish we were.... Suddenly the city was more than just a city. It had become big. Large. Powerful. We could no longer ignore them as rivals. Yet we were still big. Strong. Powerful. But fading. Yet we carried on, having faith in our strength. It wouldn't be long before the Heart of our City was given new life, and it would Swarm again with people...if only we had known by this time it was too late. Now our dominance is but a lost dream. We carry on...but more uncertain than ever. And as I walk the path of Esportia all I can see is the towering giant Looming overhead Like the powerhouse they are. Their Kingdom has surpassed, no, encompassed most of the land of Esportia now. They lead the way. They control the masses. And the worst part? I find that I too have strayed from my homeland. Not to the towering giant....but I no longer am home. Perhaps one day I, and all of us can find our place... | ||

I think you mean growing esports back into the greatness it once was at its height in Korea, and perhaps even more than that. Last night's OGN finals was one of the best things I've watched in a long time. | ||

SC2 was fine before Kespa. Everybody said they were going to dominate at sc2 because there structure and skill was so much higher, but they failed. Now they look to LoL for eSports. If they transitioned to SC2 and did bad what would you expect them to do? It will live on now because we have a huge foriegn scene that BW never really had. BW lasted 10 years and sc2 has been around only for 3 years. Yes. Finally someone who uses some fucking logic and comes to the inevitable conclusion that I did. Thank you my brother | ||

E-sports need profits, need new bloods,the Kespa got a great deal of trouble before they switched to SC2. And SC2 simply did not save them, but LOL did. So the BW will never be like before, perhaps Bisu or someone else might go back and play SSL But is that really a "benefit"? Just not totally dead. Just it. Imagine If you give these two games (BW, LOL) to one hundred teenage boys wo used to love SC2. Are you expecting them to choose BW if Bisu go back and playing? No, that's least likely to happen. Most of them will choose LOL for sure. The death( I don't think SC2 is dead, but I will use this word here) of SC2 can do nothing beneficial to BW, Perhaps one or two boy used to choose SC2 may turn back to BW( The other 99 go to LOL for sure) The so called "increasing popularity"compares nothing to the great loss of Starcraft series.you are killing one game alive by a dead game, that is all. Young men will not go to see BW if SC2 dies. Sponsors will not support BW if SC2 dies. They will are turn to LOL, or dota2( But I don't think dota2 has enough market in Korea) No matter now bad the SC2 is ,it is still the greatest e-sport game after BW And now u guys trying to kill it, and believe BW will resurrect by the death of its inheritor. While in fact the only one can be benefited is MOBA game. (I'm not saying they are bad, but definitely they are more like pure game not e-sports) How pity. Surprisingly smart post for a post count of 40. I am no expert but I think this is quite reasonable. After the age of 3D graphics 2D is just too painful for 99% of the people. | ||

I think it will just be the rumor about MVP and Samsung being confirmed. DOn't think there will be anything other than the rumors that are already talked about. | ||

I remember not too long ago hearing a group of four knowledgeable, professional gentlemen discussing the fate of a community filled with negativity - let's instead enjoy some good products that were placed out there and let the scene develop as it will. Regardless of what opinions exist in this forum today, LotV is going to come out, balance changes will happen for years, and then things will stabilize - let's talk about the future of eSports and SC2 in relation when we get to that point. Same reason why my doc wouldn't recommend laser eye surgery for me when I was 19, but I can now - they were still changing, no point in surgically correcting something that was just gonna change after anyway (because I can afford it with all of the money in winnings I got from IPL5. SHIT I LET A CAT OUT OF THE SUITCASE!) Let's think positively and contribute ideas and talk about great stuff - the balance of positive/negative posts on reddit/TL is getting so far over to the Dark Side that + Show Spoiler + eSports Dooms Doomsday Prophets are the actual antagonist in Star Wars 7. | ||
