It's not completely fucked now, but it's going to keep shrinking until it levels out. That and kind of shitty support from blizzard. It's clear that the whole sc2 esports thing isn't big on their agenda. | ||

I wish that TL will make an appearence next season maybe in a different format who knows, but for me as a SC2 watcher was awesome to see them (winning or loosing - ok maybe winning more than loosing but was still fun).

The feeling of beeing stagnant comes from the 1v1 matchup. Let me expand on this a bit : MOBA games have the option to rely on someone else to make you win evan if you perform poorly. SC2 is like ping-pong, mainly a solo competitive game. The better you get the bigger the ego grows, but while u inflate it, you also push people away. Myself have done that aswel without noticing it at start. Add up the fact that you become lazy after a while where the hype is gone or you played too much and that is the starting point when starcraft players start droping (ex : could be the fact that you preffer the pay to win system or enjoying to play with more than 2 friends online, or a better game coming out and the hype train just moves with you aboard, which I find nothing wrong wtih tbh). | ||

Depends what you mean by sustain. For the most part games-turned-esports have grown and self-sustained (with or without dev support) for a long time before third parties started investing in them, especially the competitive side of things. Starcraft 2 scene was actually among the rare few that got instantly jump-started because some people obviously thought that if they throw enough money at it and generate enough hype around it, they can fabricate what's supposed to grow on its own, and reap benefits down the road. But in the end, there are no benefits and nobody is going to pay unreasonable amounts of money just to sustain a very limited marketing platform that fewer and fewer people have any real connection to or emotional investment in. | ||

He will go to IEM New York and from there go back to Korea for another month or so, where he will be staying with CJ under the watchful eye of our good friend Coach Park. That is really cool  Snute is lika his padawan learner. | ||

Ontopic: Bad news all over the place. Let's hope SC2 only shortens and does not die. I would really like to see it continue. Could someone please explain to me why WCS is ruining SC2 exactly? | ||

Die hard BW casuals just wanna extend their love for Starcraft to a newer generation whilst former BW pros (Both ESF and foreign) wanted to get a piece of the prizepool rather than loving the game. When the Kespa pros began to switch to SC2 all the ESF and Foreigners simply quit the SC2 scene since they can no longer earn easy money whilst Kespa pros retire since they are forced to play a game fulltime which they don’t enjoy. Then boom, there goes the SC2 bubble. | ||
