(nor like LotV. check my threads) However, bashing SC2 through fantasising BW in 2016 is ridiculous. I`m the one who have seen great BW games since Thrunet supported this scene; but this is just ridiculous. | ||

Dont get mad because SC2 didnt have success in Korea at all, just enjoy the foreign scene, it will have more longevity for sure. | ||

There certainly are a few of these overly optimistic people around, I think the most likely result of SC2 proleague ending would be simply no proleague or KeSPA presence in either Starcraft title. I'd love to be proven wrong by BW returning to it's former glory and surpassing the likes of LoL of course, I'm just not holding my breath because nothing seems to support that idea. | ||

I get that pc bangs are a big deal in korea, but i would imagine that a lot of players play at home as well, no? Especially 1vs1 games. I mean if we look at pc bangs fifa online is kinda big, is the interest in fifa online esports really bigger than for bw/sc2 for example? How relevant are pc bang stats in the grand scheme of things in 2016? These stats get posted over and over again, but is it really the most important stat you can bring up these days when talking about esports/general popularity. I wonder | ||

I mean boxer went to korean "white house" to meet the president back in 2002. There are millions of old bw fans with their wives and jobs. What would happen if blizzard really advertised and pushed forward bw HD remaster. Won't it spike a lot of interest? BW can get at least a small scene. How was it that completely irrelevant sc2 had a scene since 2014? lol | ||

 I am just curious if these pc bang stats are the be-all and end-all in the year 2016 | ||

(most audience are there because of in-game giveaways tho) SC2 is exceptional, because it is an heir to BW's esports system and super pro-scene. Anyway, SC2's pro scene is bigger than that of fifa online. Otherwise, it is relative to PC bang stats. On you question, I do not know the reason but every media use PC bang stats as a measure of game's popularity. No one quotes counting that includes 'house-gamers'. | ||

PC bang stats might be biased towards overrepresenting younger gamers I guess, only someone who knows the PC bang demographics can say for sure though. Gaming still has a fairly young following though and people seem to move on to newer titles really quickly which is sad for esports so it may not be too far off even if that's the case. | ||

Developers have been trying to advertise towards these people for ages. Candy Crush & co have the best results. | ||

LotV isn't even 1 year old yet and the outlook already looks grim. I blame developers who didnt take their chance to revive Sc2 | ||

There is noone from Blizzard to blame... the amout of negativity overwhelm TL, Reedit, Blizzard forums, it's not even worth it for new players to come when they come and see all the negativity  Source for Qcon: QuakeWorld 2v2 finals Source for Qcon: Quake Live finals Btw look.. they even reskin one of the maps to fit the intel, while players can actually turn it off ingame.. How hard is do that in SC2? This might attract some sponsors in. And DON'T even talk about the viewership, u can hardly see quake anywhere on twitch or youtube The point is that there is still strong passioned scene around the quake, meanwhile in SC2 there is none (and quake is older than SC2, hell even QW is older than BW) | ||

I think he meant the quality of the finals as the viewers numbers not quality of games. Finals are where the viewers spike. | ||

How exactly are you measuring the scene to arrive at quake scene being strong and SC2 not? There are people passionate about Quake but there aren't many of them around which is why there is no real pro scene left for QL, there's just Quakecon and even that's dependent on what Zenimax *shudder* thinks is best nowadays... | ||
