It's more like ESGN was mismanaged horribly and lots of other SC2 events are dropping support because the ROI potential isn't there like it used to be. It happens in eSports, you get new games new investments, drop the outdate investments. | ||

Twitch (Streaming) was the game-changer for eSports and StarCraft took full advantage while other gaming scenes could not. Why? Because TL provided a well-organized platform for (those open-minded) RTS enthusiasts to gather and grow StarCraft. Now, StarCraft growth has stagnated, declined even. This to me just means the fair-weather fans have moved on and were now left with the RTS fans who give a damn. StarCraft is the only competitive RTS out there and I think we should stop complaining. Instead we should celebrate what we have achieved. RTS is not for everyone. StarCraft will kick your ass if you're not prepared. The old-school RTS foreign scene was never big compared to what we have experienced in the last couple of years, but it was solid. To my knowledge, RTS is a scene where most of its fans are of drinking, college and driving age. This makes us the odd one out. Which is great! We have our place in the grand design. It won't be easy, but nothing good ever is. ♥ (Fuck all the Naysayers) ♥ | ||

when people say the "scene is falling apart" i think they mean it's being watered down from what it used to be...which i'm sorry to say is super super evident and significant. the game will stay alive, and relevant big teams will remain in place. the korean scene will also probably be around til the next RTS comes out, but yeah :\ i'm super optimistic that if they make huge changes in Legacy of the void, this game will spring back to life, big time  and sometimes i get the feeling it will!to stay on topic though, i hope they get their financial troubles fixed up and pay the gamers what they were promised  must be hard being a pro gamer when it comes to the money. gl to the organization and players! keep us posted. | ||
