Pocari Sweat will swoop in and take it much to the surprise of no one.


Pocari Sweat best esport drink. It's like Gatorade but 1000000x better. Always drink it when watching Sc2 and LoL.


I would, but it's remarkably tough to find where I am. Also, I find it hilarious that it contains MSG. Taste is pretty good.


That's kind of the point of msg, to make things taste good/better(it triggers the tastebuds for one of the five basic flavors and can enhance the other tastes too). It's really not that weird to add a flavor enhancer to something for taste.

SC2 can live off the european scene only if it needs.
Things are looking grim in other regions, but even if everything fall down, we can go back to a warcraft 3 level and have europe + some asians players and be just fine.

Lots of hype over nothing. I don't understand why korean teams were so large anyway.. It's not like every friggin' player was playing matches for Pro League.. That's like paying people to warm benches at football/hockey games.

I'm not the slightest bit worried, despite all the people here who are trying to hype up the "SC2 is DYING" bs.

It was mainly for BW.

BW players NEEDED a lot of practice partners to perfect builds and such. I'm guessing that is not needed in SC2 at all.

To think the eSF-KeSPA trade lock hasn't even ended yet. That expires in October, but I guess it wouldn't be as big a deal now in a post-cataclysm world.

It tastes like flat Fresca. Or, if you don't have Fresca, flat grapefruit soda.

Was that the last of the announcements for tonight? I thought there was at least one more? O:


I have both Fresca and Pocari Sweat right now, Pocari Sweat is so much better, you must be drinking it hot, you gotta keep it in the fridge.

Asian supermarkets and other asian stores. Also, Chinatown. If you can find it Calgary, I'm sure it can be found in any other city.


The key word here being "city". I'm in a minor metropolitan area that is remarkably devoid of Asian supermarkets and stores. The most diverse store I've found in the immediate area doesn't carry it. I did find some while I was visiting Chicago.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Depends on what people mean on dying. Failing to meet it's expectations and stagnating in KR? Yeah probably.

It is also about keeping your opponent guessing who will be sent out next.

said this several times before, poor management and lack of sponsors is driving these teams to the ground. big investors are moving away from single player games into team oriented ones (Dota 2, WoT etc).

Guess I was wrong, I never believed in the sky is falling back when Destiny went on his rant and IPL tanked. But in light of everything that has happened since WCS started I guess sc2 really won't be a long term cutting edge e-sport. It will definitely go on but with tournament support and team support failing it will just run on steam. The old korean pro-gamers who now play sc2 will play and we will have good tournaments, but there won't be any surges of new talent, because all new players will make the sensible choice and focus on moba's instead.
