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.


Yeah, because other games (including Starcraft) have always been totally scandal and cheating free, right? lol

Reading the comments on viewer counts, it seems like a reasonable choice, assuming that more viewers also means more people coming. Fps aren't really my things though.

Not really a surprise tbh. SC2 has had a good run at DreamHack but is on a downward slope of popularity.

Will be interesting to see what the prize pool will be if its no longer the main game and the quality of players travelling to attend it

Yeah, people need to calm down with that CS scandal. It was quite huge, but so did the matchfixing scandal in BW a few years ago.

SC2 has been somewhat quite clean though with regards to that if I remember correctly (I don't remember of such scandals, though there's been many with teams/contracts/scams etc.)

But less tournament is kind of a bummer. Also, I totally thought of that guy they fired some short time ago, and they said nothing would change about SC2 lol. Guess that was just straight-up bullshit after all.
I don't particularly like you.

Well you can do something about it by tuning in for tournaments. Which you may already do if you're actually interested in the game

It was to be expected, as recent SC2 broadcasts at DH have been plagued by loud cheering for other games. I was super into CS and other FPS games in the early 00's, so all this hype now makes me kind of sad for being born too early.

Not really surprising. Not sure what that will entail exactly. I don't think it'll make too much of a difference for those watching from home though.

After reading this I was actually more than surprised that SC2 has still been the main game - you can think about FPS, LoL, etc. all you want, but it's a fact that they attract more viewers at the moment. It would be pretty stupid of DH to give SC2 privileges (if they have received any in the past anyways), and then I would be worried about the management of DH in general - they are a business organisation after all.

Having DH make smart business decisions increases the chances that DH will continue to be successful, which in turn increases our chances that they will continue to provide a stage for SC2 for some time to come.

As long as SC2 still has a small stage, I'm fine with that.

It's perfectly normal that CS, with it's viewers numbers, take a bigger role within DreamHack's circuit


Quite logical they'd replace SC2 for CS given the viewership.
Not much to argue.

that's my whole point. i can't control whether other people watch, only myself. if i watch a tournament its because i want to see the games, not because i care about "supporting the scene" or w/e

Can I leave this tweet here to improve the mood?



New maps hype?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

About time they released the new maps info, the season doesn't last that much longer and tournaments need to know soon.
