We all knew (come on don't lie) that EGTL would probably not participate again.
So its only logical.

I think with the success of Alliance EG is starting to focus less of star, and more on dota

but inst that how esports franchises should operate,

no game will carry on forever
you have to adjust with what games are popular

its much more dynamic than, say an NFL franchise

I always thought the EG korean house was a temporary thing. I dunno, guess if you think the sky is falling then this is terrible news. /shrug

One man's bad news is another's good news.

This will only strengthen EG's foreigner presence. Frankly, I, and I am sure many others as well, are sick and tired of Koreans taking over our teams.

All hail Riot, our new eSports overlords. Doin everything right where Blizzard are doing everything wrong.

Until they abandon the game and move on and there are no other events out there because Riot runs them all.

Actaully I wonder how would Riot organize StarCraft esport scene.

The irony in all this is that this might be what ultimately breaks the korean dominance in sc2 (not EGTL house closing). What I mean is if sc2 becomes no longer viable as an esport in korea (or incredibly tiny) we might see what most people claim they want to see: a scene dominated by "foreigners," mostly europeans.

I still think we are a long way away from that, but I think the only way we will see koreans lose their dominance of the scene is if they basically just stop playing the game. Will the quality of the games suffer? Probably? Will the "community" care? Who knows?

Can sc2 even survive without Korea?


I like to think so, since the best crowds so far have been at foreign events like the GSL finals at Blizzcon, that first full year of MLG, Dreamhack,e ct.

Of course there's the huge caveat that a lot of these events generated a lot of hype from having top-level Koreans playing at them.

Right now, Europe isn't on-par with Korea when it comes to SC2 skill (overall that is and I guess at the very top level). But WCS_EU is going strong, they still have lots of small events / non-WCS events. They also haven't seen a total flood of Koreans, nor total domination by the ones that did go and for the most parts the ones that went are popular in Europe too. So I think your perspective on this really changes based on if you're looking at foreign scene from the perspective NA or Europe.

Probably the way they're managing it now, after all Riot had the advantage of watching on Blizzard approached SC2 and make their own decisions based on that experience. I guess they also had the advantage of not having to worry about Kespa or what not in transitioning (then again, seems they more or less ignored the existing Dota scene when promoting LoL as an eSports).

Does that mean Incontrol gets to pretend he's Brad Pitt?

In all seriousness, I think this is overall just an effect of the Korean SC2 scene undergoing some reorganization and realignments. Can SC2 survive without Korea? Better than BW, but then BW wasn't as big as SC2 is now on a global basis. So a smaller Korean scene could be detrimenal, but I think it's just change. Overall I don't think SC2 esports is dying. (Hell, there are smaller communities around games that are still going strong.)

SC2 might not be the flagship for eSports that it may have been for a little while a year or two ago. That's okay. I wouldn't worry unless the next announcement is Coca going back to LoL, and Flash going with him.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Did Brad Pitt get a raise in WWZ?
Seriously though, I think PL was the best thing to happen to both EG & TL in a long time (aside from recruiting Jaedong I guess), sucks they won't be competing again, assuming PL will in fact happen again of course.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

wasn't their way to not do anything? aka not interfere?

I would also consider how big bw was outside korea.

Blizzard didn't find a way to make Brood War grow. People in Korea did.

Thought they would get a chance when Kespa players were in transition. Turned out they were the bottom feeders. Now that Kespa players are fully transitioned, they better get the heck out there as fast as possible.
