Everything is offline.
24/7 WCS stream with variety of content from the Premiere Leagues and Challenger league.

Hope: They will add on a team league system similar to LCS.

Bottom line: The scene is going to be much smaller in the player pool.
There will be less overall broadcast games by WCS.
Scaling down content amount and increasing the quality of the content will keep the scene alive for another year at least.

In the end: The scene is going to limp along until the release of LoTV at least.
Significant improvements are needed in LoTV to grow the scene.
THERE WILL BE PROFESSIONAL STARCRAFT 2 FOR ANOTHER YEAR!!!!!


I guarantee you professional SC2 at least until wc4 or sc3 comes out.

I don't know what gives you such confidence.
What gives you the confidence that there will be a wc4 or sc3?

What else are people who like RTS'es supposed to watch if not starcraft2?

As long as there is no competition in the RTS scene... starcraft2 wont completely die out. And so far only hope's for competition is probably WC4 or that day9+artillery project ( but both of those are at concept stage at best so far ).

Well Blizzard has a monopoly on competitive rts games and warcraft and starcraft are two of their biggest franchises. There are way less successful games out there getting sequels. Less and less rts coming out is the reason why sc and wc will stay successful while every other publishers focuses on mobas. It's a niche. I think there will always be a healthy but maybe smaller rts scene, and Blizzard are the best when it comes to rts.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Can't we just blow up Blizzard HQ, pirate SC2 (and call it like Intergalactic Wars) and just run SC2 ourselves? Seriously, this is ridiculous. Maybe this is why Naniwa lost his match - cause it doesn't mean jack shit and we know what Naniwa likes to do when his matches don't mean jack shit (PROBE RUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH).

But in all seriousness, if we pirate SC2 and run it ourselves, we can actually get some good game changes (as well as redesigning Protoss) and revitalize the damned thing ourselves. Or we can just say fuck it, and remake Brood War with up-to-date graphics.

If MC and duckdeok both lose in ro8, naniwa jumps from 15th to 13th place if he places 1-8th in challenger league thanks to those extra 75 points.

Those 75 points possibly can earn him a blizzcon spot.

It's a good thing.

You can't change a bad system if you are reluctant to things as basic as who get seeds.

of all the suggestions for fixing WCS, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "kill Code A"

well, what really sucks in my eyes is Blizzards information policy. Why not release this information public?
If there will be a shitstorm for the changes, it will come, no matter when the information is released, but if they don't release the information, the shitstorm will come even if their news are good ones, just because noone knows for sure what will be changed.

Don't be silly we could never keep the game balanced. I mean the community already seems split whether to make the game mechanically harder or not, what importance strategy should play compared to mechanics and so on. Plus the balance whine with every single recommended change. The community is too large to find a good balance there.

WC and SC are both very successful brands that sold well. There will be successors, I'd bet on that - even if RTS' popularity is declining and more casual friendly games such as Mobas are on the rise. To each his own, I guess.

Just kill WCS. Please. It's not helping anything, and it's becoming increasingly obvious that Blizzard has no idea what they're doing with it. I don't often say things like that, and I think SC2 as a game is great, but WCS!2013-version is hopeless.
