Wouldn't it make more sense to keep their successful LoL team and build a DOTA2 team on the side to perhaps have three successful eSports teams? Or is this like when people do start ups and intend to sell it off for a lot of cash to build up something new? rumor is that Samsung KHAN is looking to buy their LoL team. | ||

I remember when I was getting into WC3 I used to download a TON of replays and just watch them, study them, try to do it by myself against A.I. and finally against other people on ladder. Also, it was very entertaining. Then there was this waaaghtv. Man, that was awesome. I think lack of those things really hurt SC2 in the long run, especially since it is really hard for new people to really get into it. You can watch streams, which is great, but for some reason, watching streams doesn't make me want to play more games. It's like watching TV. It won't make you make your own movies. But analyzing replays, studying build orders, observing decision making, checking mico/macro, that is completely different story. I know there are lots of replay analyzers and stuff like that. But I just want to see it happening on my screen. I want to load up replay where my favourite player is playing perfectly, etc... Hopefully someone catches what I'm trying to say. waaaaghtv was really awesome | ||

If I'm at work and following a game/series, I like the LR option together with following the thread chat. Anyone who has spent some time in a LR thread knows that - and there are often people who pop in and ask for a LR or thank the LR poster for his contribution. And everyone likes a good LR OP. I think the reason Xiphis and forumtext didn't make any sense with their posts (and they were wtf are you on about posts) is because they probably didn't have any sense to make. | ||

They're not rich enough to keep the team and fend off bigger offers, so they might as well sell the team while they still can. | ||

If there is anyone to blame here I feel like it is Blizzard. SC2 just does not have the same quality as previous Blizzard games. The gameplay changes were often made in poor design taste. For example, two of the most egregrious violators are marauders and roaches, which simply do not fit the design philosophy of Terran/Zerg, respectively. They are, in my opinion, quite poorly designed and were the reason for a lot of imbalances (and perhaps still are). I think this is a property inherent to the current management and design teams at Blizzard, as both WoW and Diablo 3 have had similar problems. I don't think it's such a shocker that you see so many pros burn out on the game so quickly. Idra was always quite vocal about how much he disliked playing SC2 over BW but did it purely for the money. Numerous BW pros have recently been retiring (like Jangbi) and rumour has it that they simply do not enjoy SC2. Hopefully the scene doesn't completely die. I'm sure it won't. But, at the same time I'd love to see Korean BW make a comeback, if that is at all possible. I'd most definitely spend some nights staying up late to relive those memories. | ||
