However - thought that the televised events were enough to keep it going, but I guess wasn't enough.. That being said - no live event in MLG - no viewership..
Yeah - sad for Axslav and Axeltoss, hope they get it on in the future to come

Curiosity propped it up for a tournament or two, but in the end the move had the effect of crushing the NA scene and a good portion of domestic interest. Gotta tip your hat to everyone for their short-sightedness. Yeah god forbid we see the highest level games and best players possible. You realize the Koreans were kinda big in the SC1 scene, right? It's only natural we care about them in SC2. People are still repeating this stuff? I dunno if you realize where the scene is at currently but... everything you said completely sidesteps the issues the poster you quoted brought up. I hope Axslav can find a new position. He has very good insight to the game and it would be a shame to see him stay idle for too long. | ||

MLG has hit some bumps and the community has gotten grumpy, but over all they are way less pissy about minor details(like stage size, or that call of duty exists). At the end of the day, if the community want MLG back, they can get them to cover SC2 again, just like dota, who has been pushing for MLG forever. | ||

In dota this is less the case as each character is only 10% influence in the game. Also dota has got x^65489755231 teampoosibilities and sc2 has alot less (and therefore alot of the same games). Basically, the mainstrain will never consumer sc2 as they will consume dota2 or whatever game. You know I like to watch and play Basketball, but in Germany the majority only likes football. Should I also switch? | ||

DH Dota is nothing like DH SC2 for example (until very recently), and if it was then I don't think people would be so full of praise for DH and spite for MLG in the SC2 community. | ||

That is totally valid too and the SC2 community loves DH without question, even if they settle matches through a coin flip. And maybe Redbull can really get a larger NA even going, with online qualifiers and everything. Personally I like that everyone is focusing on the game that works for them. | ||

I'm really hoping it will become a cult following or niche market. One of those catchy things I can be all hipster about. I'm already super niche and hipster about other crap so I guess sc2 becoming like that would suit me me too I can just imagine some of the conversations I'd have too :\ "Who's your favorite player?" "Taeja!" "Oh yeah he's awesome, what champion did he play again?" | ||
