The StarCraft scene will shrink more this year. Bad news from Korea, a WCS system that benefits inferior players and a last expansion that did not change much about the flaws that the game is suffering from. I'd assume that news like this one wouldn't hit the scene as hard as they do if Blizzard had not fucked up as much as Blizzard did. It's really sad to see the game declining for those reasons.

Everything is an excuse to bash Blizzard

Hard not to bash when most things they do are bashing-worthy, tbh

I think we are being too hard on Sonic seems like he just got carried away.

And he did revive Brood war so I won;t forget that.

We just need a new word and it will be fine. Is there a synonym for savior? I'm not a native english speaker and the polish "zbawca/zbawiciel" may be too hard to pronounce.

Nothing in this world has drama like south korean esports. All this just amazes me. I wonder if it was planned from the beginning or if they just kept running with trying to make it work until even they didn't understand how it worked.

Im suprised that OGN and SPOTV accepted his sponsorship if they knew this.
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

"zbawca/zbawiciel" those aren't real words at all. How could any work get done with a language like that?

of course what happens is branch stores get fuckedddd people like intotherainbow was extremely mad at sonic cus he was one of the investors and he put in all of his own savings, borrowed money from his family and from his sister to invest in a sbenu branch store and it went out of business VERY fast. 부산공장 mentioned there were some who even took their own lives and a ton of other victims who's lives are being destroyed by this scam


Just read this from the update, that's pretty sad. Have there really been suicides due to this?

It becomes easier the moment you realize certain consonants are pronounced differently in Polish and some consontant clusters (e.g. "ci", "ch", "rz", "dz", "dzi") are not pronounced seperately and produce a single sound. I never understood the notion of hard pronounciation in Polish, especially if you are familiar with a language / accent that is rhotic (like Spanish, or even better - Scottish).

If you do try to pronounce everything seperately and the "english way" it does tend to sound ridiculous as fuck though

Back to the topic - Sonic seems to be running his business in a rather shady manner. I hope it's as he says, but all evidence is stacked up against him as of now.

"Shady manner" is a pretty good description but I think a valid point of view would be also to think about it as just a series of really bad business decisions and not necessarily a pre-planned criminal intent (which is also possible though imo less likely ).

Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Not that surprising really.
