I'd prefer that we become a literal cult and have to sacrifice a dota player at the start of every tournament to appease the esports gods. | ||

He is big in the Greek SC2 scene. His style is really hard to explain and super experimental. It's hard for most fans to appreciate it." I can't fucking wait to be that far up my own ass. | ||

I'm not saying that the game is dead, but 150k considering all the build up and the fact that Blizzcon has a lot of built in viewers already (WoW got 50+k, hearthstone got 100k), it's not a good sign.After Blizzcon getting 150K+ in the finals? Anyway that's really beside the point. What's more important in regards to MLG is what there is to do in SC2 as an independent organisation. Of course it is still possible to run events in the game alongside the WCS, but if you're an organisation which relies on few key games then it becomes increasingly difficult. Because you are competing against Blizzard, of course they give you WCS points and it may look like a partnership. But viewers can only watch so much content, players can only play in so many competitions, and you don't have the freedom to play by your own rules and schedule. Making a sustainable business in eSport is difficult enough by itself when you're not competing against the developer. So moving to a game where the developer actively helps you find additional revenue streams while not stepping on your toes every week is only logical. ~ Anyway I guess a bit more on topic. I was a big Axslav fan in WC3, it was interesting to see someone have a fair bit of success without good micro in a very micro intensive game like WC3. I used to download pretty much every replay of his on their old clan site. So although I never felt as attached to him as a commentator I hope him the best. | ||

Felt like this was a long time coming. Good luck to both of the them in whatever they end up doing. Axslav is one of my favorite casters and he was one of my favorite protoss streamers back when he did so I hope he sticks around. | ||
