I don't know if this, DH Bucharest skipping SC2 actually means anything in the long run, but my gut reaction is simple: This is terrible news for SC2 and Blizzard both. If DH the likes of it continues to not include SC2 in their events this year, where HoTS should be peaking really, in terms of providing good competitions that is, and LoTV is still far away from any kind of maturity, its like Blizzard completely missed the timing of the LoTV release. All the momentum the scene currently has would be wiped out, players dispersed etc. So yeah, this could be pretty bad.

Also, I don't quite understand the notion that "...as long as SC2 is going to continue in Korea I don't care...." For me, as a fan of SC2 and with a huge interest in the EU-scene, a SC2 only in Korea is something I wouldn't be able to follow, and to be honest, something that I wouldn't want to follow either. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the biggest scene (not to be confused with the strongest scene) is EU, not KR. I wonder how long Blizzard would continue to maintain a game that is only played competitively in KR, when gaming all around the world is booming like nothing we have seen before? Probably 2 seconds?

That's what I call screaming before you feel the pain. Starcraft 2 will be at the DH which follows Bucharest, Tours, and will most likely be part of the next DHs too. IEM had a non-SC2 event last year, and no one went batshit over it, and IEM is still strongly supporting SC2 as of today.

I'll just keep on screaming if that is ok with you.
