We had to call one of those 'drive our car home' services (they are everywhere in seoul, dunno if they exist elsewhere) on the way back because Gon was afraid he'd fall asleep at the wheel if he tried to drive. Fun games. | ||

Ever since that ending I've always been disappointed when other tournaments end, most of the time they shove some trophy in the players hand and then they try to shut off the stream as quick as possible because it's late and they are tired. Understandable, but I'm always left with a feeling of 'was this what is was all for' 'why broadcast 14 hours to end like this'?. NASL S3 ending will always be the standard to beat! | ||

WCS numbers are HIGHER than NASL numbers were, than IPL numbers were. Do you remember what those numbers were like back then? 5k, 10k at best. WCS is regularly pulling in 40k concurrents for EU RO32, higher in the offline portions. NA is more like 15k but that's still better than what NASL Season 1-3 were getting. Even Proleague numbers are up, thanks I'd imagine in no small part to a change in commentary team. Proleague was regularly getting 5k concurrents last year, now it's closer to 15k-20k. We don't know what GOM used to get, but the numbers for this regular weekly content are actually really good compared to what the old regular weekly content used to get back in 2010-2012. And it's still not enough. It never will be, not for SC2 alone. For that stuff to work you need to be supporting other games too, you need a SC2 division not a pure SC2 focus. That's the sad reality right now but thing is, it's always been the reality, we are just in a time when that is more obvious to the average viewer. It's unreal that more people don't get this, especially considering how it's been trumpeted with commendable volume for about three years now. Starcraft 2 on its own IS NOT PROFITABLE. End of story. The time of huge SC2 offline events outside of WCS is over and will not be coming back. We can either deal with it and emotionally and intellectually prepare ourselves for some serious tightening of various belts, or we can react with the inane "WHY?!" posts when something like the recent NASL collapse happens. It was always going to happen, it was inevitable, a case of simple mathematics. The SC2 scene was completely bloated with insanely unrealistic investments and expectations, this is the backlash that was set in motion years ago. | ||

If the game was as interesting to watch as it was years ago, the number of viewers wouldn't drastically drop in mid 2012~2013. Imo, HotS isn't so fun to play. Playing vs Terran in Lost Temple years ago was imbalanced, but holy shit that was so fun. I migrate from SC2 to Dota 2 mostly because the game isn't as fun as it was anymore. | ||
