Here is a semi-interview with Suppy and Kane during their recent visit to Seoul (semi because I'm not a journalist so the only thing i've ever interviewed up to that point was the mirror, so don't expect much professionalism there). I did have a bunch of questions ready but ofc i forgot to take them so just asked what i could think of on the spot

You want to learn from your mistakes you know, but you can't do that on NA because you're winning every game ...

NA too EZ?

I never once saw a TV advertisement for HoTs in the US. Not once. I see plenty of Diablo and WoW, but never once seen a SC2 commercial, maybe one or two when WoL came out.

Advertise more in North America please!

I think their RoI probably wasn't high enough. They probably knew that advertising a lot more wouldn't net them enough sales to justify the cost.

Great interview. The SC2 scene could use more of your "amateur" journalism. Thanks!

Fantastic interview. I agree Shoutcraft did amazing things for the NA ladder and the scene. Almost everyone in top gm was playing and streaming. QXC sadly didn't qualify and he was so pissed. That emotion is what sc2 at the highest level is all about.

Does SC2 get more advertising in Europe? I would think that SC2 gets less advertising than Diablo and WoW because esports is the advertising for SC2 instead of commercials.

Alot of emotions went crazy that time period because the top of NA ladder was actually super serious of the race and knew there was no korean players envolved. Also a time to shine in the scene, such a great time period and great method for the players to qualify, TB was utilizing stuff that people wanted to see utilized. It isn't foolproof (hackers and such) but it worked.
