Of all the events that are apparently leading up to SC2's demise, sC and thebest retiring are probably, if not the single most irrelevant recently. Seriously. People who think SC2's back is gonna be broken from losing sC and TheBest are just looking for a reason to shout SC2 dying. | ||

You can ride the coat tails of results that are nearly 3 years old forever. | ||

 I really hoped for him to do well again! He was doing parade pushes before they were popular (like in 2011) For once, I hope this is related to the game, not his health | ||

It's just a continuation of retirements that have been going on for weeks now. I'm not using these two to make a point, but it's hard not to look at whats been going on and say everything's fine and dandy. I'm getting used to people defending the game nomatter what though and find it mildly entertaining so please keep doing what you do. | ||

Many many pros joined the scene when Kespa switched, the scene could not realistically handle that many pro's therefore retirements were announced, the scene is regressing back, it will eventually stabilize. | ||

Not a single player that has retired in the last few months was remotely near championship level. This is the period of time when contracts expire. Of course players with no results to their name are going to call it quits. | ||

I've heard this argument before... but in reality if the game was popular enough it could support all these new pros and more. I don't like to diss SC2 cause it is still my favorite game, and I'm hoping for a revival and resurgence in popularity at some point. I guess LOTV. | ||

Esports is top heavy, and it has always been the small percent at the top that have actually made a good living. Everyone else just keeps trying until they can't justify it as a career any longer. | ||

sC needs to stop game hopping. He probably wasn't doing well in LoL, so all he has now is DotA2, HoN, CS, and World of Tanks. And idk how well HoN, CS, and WoT is doing. | ||

At it's absolut peak brood war could support 12 teams, 7 + kespa team after matchfixing. What makes you think that we could magically support like 16 after the korean sc2 scene struggled to maintain 8? There is only so many people you can support, and there is a limit. When a game that had no competiton as the number 1 esport in sout korea could support 12 at it's best times, how fucking uber popular do you want sc2 to get to support all the esf + kespa teams? I guess we need north korea to pick up starcraft or something. | ||
