I'm pretty sure DH is going to announce DH SC2, the French Facebook page kinda confirm it.

I'll post more infos about it when I'm home.

Nono I'd prefer to post your tweets out of context so if the information ends up being wrong it's your fault

I would be highly surprised if SC2 goes away entirely.


It would be, in the same way cycling would be, if the results weren't completely undermined by constant scandals and cheating.

I don't mind that at all. As long as they cover SC2 well I am totally fine with that.

It's not just the viewership, you gotta think that 2 of the most "popular" teams are swedish, which makes it also a political decision. And with Thorzain/Sortof/Nani/Sase kind of gone from the main stage this makes perfect sense.


Yeah CSGO in Europe is a bit like sc2 in Korea in terms of player and team skill. It isn't quite as 1 -sided as the sc2 scene though. Thing that strikes me as odd was that I recently saw Artosis casting a CS:Online tournament in the gom studios and then I saw tasteless casting some kind of weak looking CS ripoff called 'crossfire' with lilsusie or something only a couple weeks ago. Maybe valve purposely doesn't grow CSGO in asia because they dont want the Koreans to dominate I actually think its because Asian gamers only seem to like f2p games these days.


koreans didn't dominate 1.6 when they had the chance to tho

It actually upsets me that Hearthstone is bigger than Sc2 at this point. I find that game laughably boring, yet a lot people love it for some reason.

The game is really fun to play and collect the cards. It's a good example on how to make a card game.

As an eSport though it's retarded. Low skill ceiling and huge RNG makes for not very exciting storylines. Plus it's much drier than other eSports (MOBAs aside, I'd rather watch paint dry).

Im actually OK with this, I have always been a big SC and CS supporter and these 2 games are pretty much my only goto games. I can watch both esports all day long....

For the ones attending the latest Dreamhack I'm sure it comes as no surprise. The interest and audience that the CS:GO tournament pulled were huge. I wonder if this completely eliminates the DH SC2 circuit, or if its still possible we will have it alongside CS:GO in 2015.

Way easier to understand than sc2 as a viewer because it has freakin' descriptions on cards. I absolutely dislike hearthstone since it's RNG based and I suck at taking losses anyways. I'm so salty about that shitgame. I want to start a rant but I don't wanna derail here so I'll just shut up about that .. game.

as long as Blizzard wants SC2 to be an esport, it will be there.

please people, stop the doom and gloom and get some updates on the tweets, take a deep breath, and think for a second etc...

I have no doubts that the game is fun to play, even though I never played it myself. But as you said, I find it crazy that anyone finds it exciting when so much of the game you win or die on what card you draw and there's no skill involved.

Why? Do you not like watching high quality games? Or is it more important to you that the guy you're watching is from your country?

Hearthstone isnt an esport IMO. It is a card game played on computers. It will have crossover appeal into that genre of gaming but I don't think it compares well at all to the major esport titles in which things like speed accuracy and mechanics are so important.

95% of foreigners do not provide what is widely agreed to be a "high quality game".
