hope BW will be ressurected.
IPL died for reasons completely unrelated to WCS.

I switched to Dota 2 at the right time. 
Sad if this comes true though. Loved the Korean mastery. <3

Gosh , some comments are so depressing, i could violently ramm a saw up a cute kittens ass. Seriously ,this game's far from dieing and may very well serve as a wake up cccall to blizz to step up everything (imho they've done a ok job so far ,nothing amazing ,but atleast they see something's needs to be done and they're trying)
If you wanna look at a "dieing" game look a HoN

for a moment i thought i got banned
but thanks god, mvp is not allowed to disband!
|
Please let this one be true!
|
So um counter-rumoring the rumor he put up, Catacylsm is funky
|
The writing is definitely on the wall for SC2, though I think there will be decent purses for the next 12-18 months (optimistically). The real question is, when do we see a modern competitor? I know I'm not the only one who is only interested in competitive RTS where managing economies and armies are important, and not pure micro, single-player on team games like DOTA and LOL.
I don't fear for the fall of SC2, Blizzard brought that on itself by forcing the game through Blizzard servers. If they distributed SC2 like they did SC1/BW, obviously people would copy it for free and it could rival BW as the ubiquitous RTS over time.
What I find worrying is the prospect that SC2 is the last even semi-popular RTS, and that people who enjoy these games are dinosaurs, like playing text adventures.

Most of these rumors aren't bad at all, haha. Some are rumors that literally are about good things such as people not retiring, and teams working towards a sponsorship. The bad ones, most of those aren't even that bad, individual players retiring is hardly the end of the world. MVP disbanding would be a huge tragedy of course, as would be the loss of proleague, but again those are just rumors, both unsubstantiated and the person who started some of them is already backtracking:

Like I said, rumors are rumors, and people take it too seriously. MVP SC2 team is not disbanding.
Some, most, or even all, might come true in the end, but come on. Let's not go crazy.

So, this is only a rumor of them not disbanding, which means they are likely to disband.

TODAYS TOP NEWS: RUMOURS ARE RUMOURS

Not surprised.
No tours, no money, no new talent (thanks to WCS killing off any new tours).

This happened in brood war many times. Lots of players retired, teams died out, teams gained new sponsors, etc. This isn't something new. And Brood war survived for 10+ years.

What do you mean? IPL disbandment had nothing to do with WCS. IPL's parent company IGN was bought by a new owner. And what do you mean no new tours? Red Bull, Fragbite, Starswars, just to name a few are all getting involved.

RUMOR: Bisu to retire, Hydra to (possibly) retire
RUMOR: KeSPA downsizing SC2 teams to 5-6 people / Reporter: Organizations will focus on LoL teams
RUMOR: Next SC2 Proleague may be its last
RUMOR: IM leaves eSF, KeSPA trying to get LG to sponsor IM
RUMOR: Prime leaves eSF, hopes KeSPA can help find a sponsor
Not surprising.
RUMOR: EffOrt, RorO, and Stork not going to retire
Kind of surprising (Stork not retiring).
RUMOR: MVP dead, SC2 team disbanded, LoL squad to Samsung KHAN / NEW RUMOR: MVP SC2 NOT Disbanding
Would've been surprising if true.
RUMOR: Hyvaa not retired, just "jobless"?
Well, no reaction from me. 
I know a lot of this looks really alarming at first glance, but when you break it down, it's not all that bad. Excited for Step 2 though! Let's get this Cataclysm on the road.
