Pretty obvious move, pretty obvious reasons.

I still expect Kespa to move to another game very soon, so they have another premiere product next to LoL.

lol, could they have not gone with the now classic "not the end...a new beginning" again?

not sure about there not being a proleague next year, but there won't be a forced switch thats for sure.

Blizzard should step up if they need a sponsor.

All that money going to the wsc circuit could be better used in an actual high level tournament like the SPL.

Beginning of the end for major Starcraft 2 in Korea. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Blizzard start pushing Brood War (and probably Overwatch) in Korea again along with Kespa (as has been rumored). Most players will switch back to BW, some will retire, a few will probably keep playing SC2 if there is still GSL, but without major teams I kinda doubt GSL will survive either. Not surprising either, not only is Starcraft 2 an inferior game, it also doesn't have the legacy and culture that BW does in Korea. Koreans tend to play the same games for decades, ie Maplestory, Lineage, Sudden Attack and Brood War. This would also explain Blizzard's increased focus on the foreign scene.

Well, Korea was never really into SC2 anyways. The efforts by Blizzard to region-lock WCS and to promote foreigners over Koreans are starting to make a lot of sense now ; the goal wasn't to mindlessly kill the Korean scene or to throw money at foreigners as we first thought, but to prepare the scene to make sure that when Koreans would switch back to BW, foreigners would have legitimacy to claim to be the best in the world.

Alright you BW-philes should really stop saying that BW is better and that sc2 is a dead game. You guys sound like the exact kind of people we don't want here. Do you want sc2 people to talk bad of BW? Cuz there are plenty of reason why BW is not fun too. Just because it was the best game of its time does not mean it still is now. Seriously please

If Proleague is actually done I'm pretty much done, too. But I still got hope.

What some people in this sub dont realize if that if SC2 ends, then BW will end.
If there is few new blood coming to sc2 is none going to BW. The scene its just hold by some nostalgics and flash, sure maybe the return of BW will make a small spike of viewers at the beggining but it will not last longer. I've been watching all ASL since afreeca take care of it and I can tell you: it only gets packed when flash plays.

This thread is triggering me as it is becoming a SC2 vs BW thread. Maybe it has the potential to be the Mega thread...

Not surprising if it quits but it would still suck. Ah well it has been great while it lasted.

I would imagine more people would watch big budget tournaments sanctioned by Kespa and Blizzard. These small BW events still outperform the Kespa run Starcraft 2 Leagues.

Maybe some kind of overwatch tournament? I have no idea how the game works so i don't know if it is viable in a proleague environment

I really hope they don't ditch sc2 This is the only game i follow since moba tournaments suck.

All of my friends switched to league since it is big in Turkey. I've played it until plat1-diamond5 level but it became boring after that. Seriously though if ssl and gsl dies completely i am basically done with esports until a new game comes out
