I'm pretty sure what I just linked is an interview with the 3 teams leaving eSF, maybe just the coaches.

Likewise. I clicked on it because it shows despair... T_T

I suppose joining KeSPA could help with stabilizing finances but still...

Sounds to me like MVP is totally dead?

Anyway, I haven't bought into any of this whole SC2 is in trouble hype until now. This is bad.

Blizzard needs to fix the Siege Tank, everyone loves it, and it would bring people back.

That and the Carrier.

Per my shitty attempt to use Google Translate, MVP SC2 is not dead. Prime is looking for LoL, they can't comment on MVP LoL. KeSPA looking to help with LG.

From what the coach is saying in the article, it's not the case.

Maybe I just live in a shell, but I stopped watching a lot of SC2 when TvZ became what it is now. A good TvZ between two great players back in WOL (before the Infestor took over) was probably the most exciting competition I've ever watched.

But I feel like the game got stale. TvP has been the same for how long? TvZ isn't as good. ZvP has more and more Swarmhosts, which are the ultimate turtle and boring unit. One base timings are nearly extinct, and two base timings are going that way too. Blizzard should start people on two bases, because no one wants to watch the same build up and no action for 8+ minutes.

I feel like if Starcraft had the excitement, and was as exciting to watch as it used to be, it could compete with the MOBAs. But the metagame is stale, and so every game plays out similar, while most LOL games look radically different, and thus it is interesting to watch. Just imagine if every football game all anyone did was run the ball up the middle, it'd get boring pretty fast... SC2 needs to diversify.

A lot of what you said is outdated, TvP has changed in subtle but important ways with more emphasis on ghost Viking and even the occasional hellbat transition, and really swarm hosts aren't massed anymore.

And idk about you but TvZ is fucking amazing.

Kwanghee Woo ‏@SaintSnorlax 5m

IM's head coach Hirai denies leaving eSF in order to join KeSPA, but says all possibilities are open http://www.thisisgame.com/esports/news/nboard/162/?n=49164 …


I don't get it, what other reason could they possibly have for leaving eSF and GSTL? They just won 50 million won from GSTL and could have repeated. It's not like their SC2 teams schedule is too full, right?

We have been saying for months(almost a year at this point) that there were way to many Korean teams and players compared to the size of the scene and it seems like it has finally come to fruition. When the KeSPA players came into the scene they added about 100 pro players to a scene that already had a fairly large pool of Korean pros. It will probably settle down for awhile after this and then we will get final stability around this time next year.

I am sad that we are losing all these players but this turnover was inevitable from the moment the sc2 player pool doubled in size.

None of this has anything to do with the excitement of the game. I mean obviously it is about the game, but not in any way that Blizzard can ever do anything about in terms of changing game play mechanics.

It can't be because the matchups are too stale or not exciting enough, and to answer why that is you just have to watch a moba. I am not saying this as some uneducated rts fanboy, I play League and I watch it too just as I watch sc2. But let's be honest. Moba's are just as stale if not more than sc2 is. The games are just as if not more predictable and will always follow the same pattern.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Want to save Starcraft 2, Remove all the enhanced Macro mechanics (Chrono boost, Mules, Injects, Warp Gates) If not the game won't be as interesting as competing Esport games.
