And the most hilarious thing is that blizz will probably do all kinds of nasty e-sport stuff after LotV comes out... Make arcade or multiplayer free and start selling hats for banelings...
But then, again, who needs sc2 when they got all the hearthstone hype going... Yey for hearthstone wcs
And pray there is intelligent life somewhere out in space coz there is bugger all down here on Earth

I think it's to late though. The WCS sprayed their stink onto the market and made sc2 one of the Least watched eSports which is very sad. I love Starcraft and have been a very loyal customer for 15 years and grew up watching what proscene i could watch when I coudl watch it. I feel starcraft had the Hayday when IPL was doing a constant stream that was AWESOME but that has been shutdown and it felt like the scene was growing then and now it feels like its Dying very quickly.... I just wish someone was out there to bring it back to life and start making it grow again.......
I don't want to Lose starcraft .....

Translation of the top 10 of gamenote(PC Bang + At Home):

2 FIFA Online 3
1 League Of Legends
3 Sudden Attack
4 Lineage
5 Dungeon Fighter
6 Blade & Soul
7 Aion
8 Eos
9 World of Warcraft
10 Cyphers

SC2 is #17. WC3 is #24 and BW is #26.

So it's mostly MMORPGs, with the exception of the top 3.

Looking at Gametrics now which is PC Bangs only

1 League Of Legends
2 FIFA Online 3
3 Sudden Attack
4 Aion
5 Blade & Soul
6 Lineage
7 Starcraft
8 Cyphers
9 Eos
10 Warcraft 3

SC is #18 on here.

Hope that helps!

I think for gametrics there is a paywall for everything beyond #10...



@esdf:
Although you're wrong about what SC2 is, I agree that season finals shouldn't be that often.


Thanks for the post, though one thing isn't clear, in your 2nd list you put Starcraft at 7 and also noted SC is at #18, thats a bit confusing, which SC is where? Is SC2 on 7 or is it in 18?

More likely because LoL is not actually an RTS game

Name one game besides dota and lol and at some time of the year fighting games that, on average, gets more. I could name you like 10 esports that get less viewers and are smaller than star 2. It's not dieing and you won't loose it, jesus people I feel like all of you joined esports with star 2 and are now butthurt that the game no longer has the number 1 spot.

WCS is just an excuse for the private organizations to cut investment on a financially unviable game.

Cash won't help. The problem is the lack of viewers and thus lack of sponsors and thus teams/players retiring. -_-
And why is there a lack of viewers? Because the game is shit.

"One of the least watched eSports" being what, the 2nd or 3rd most watched internationally?

Unlike BW, SC2 didn't go through the natural process of growing and getting people to like and love it, the game was forced upon everyone. BW has suffered a violent death at the hands of Blizzard and people got left with only 2 options, play SC2 or play a different game. Same goes for viewers. And if that wasn't enough Blizz even tried to kill off the amateur BW leagues, but fortunately failed at it.

?


This.

BW was like

unpopular -> played by people > koreans fell in love with it > companies sponsor it > esport

while SC2

force it as esport > played by people > players/fans lose passion as time passes > unpopular

total reverse :|

Ok thank you for the post and for the clarification again. It would be nice now to see some actual numbers, not percentages, of how many people play those respective games both at home and at PC bangs and also have the total added up to get a bigger picture, though I might be asking for too much now.

Anyway, hopefully at least the bad news stops pouring in.
