Can't say BW is a bad game but I just can't stand playing it, if sc2 goes I go with it, hopefully it is just some kind of PR statement or at least a proleague with both game. | ||

Strongly disagree, I was willing to give it a chance in the name of making Starcraft more popular but I'm starting to think the SC2 region lock experiment has run it's course... It certainly hasn't seemed to improve viewership. Knowing Blizzard they're sticking with it for another year at least though and that is a shame. Koreans need to be involved in SC2, their play is just too much better for them not to. | ||

It'll be sad if PL doesn't come back, sure, but SC2 is hardly doing well at the moment anyway. The way things are is not popular, and it's not a sustainable situation. I wonder sometimes, if KESPA had never come over to SC2 and Blizzard hadn't started meddling as much, would we still be in the situation we're in now? I'm not so sure. I guess it's always easier to look back with rose tinted glasses, but the competitive scene now bears very little resemblance to the scene when SC2 was truly hot. Like it or not though (honestly, I don't really find it enjoyable to watch) ProLeague now pretty much props up the Korean SC2 scene and without it things will likely collapse rapidly. But then, with things as they are, can SC2 really be saved regardless? Irreparable damage has already been done... | ||

I stopped watching Bw because it became very stale watching the same players playing the same stuff over and over again. Then Sc2 came and it was a hell of a ride for 5 years. But Sc2 has the same problem now as BW had 5 years ago: lack of new blood. But the changes to the game keep it exciting. But an unchanging starcraft with a static aging player pool, duh. | ||

I mean it depends on BW HD i guess? People mentioning that it doesn't have newcomers, i mean afaik the ASL qualifiers had like over 500 people participating. So i would assume that there are lots and lots of people in the semi pro zone (or near it). Anyone has stats for the fish server? I mean todays crowd at the PL finals was kinda okish? Not 100% sure because only saw it on stream but it didn't look too bad. The problem is that vod numbers seem to be pretty meh (a few thousand for the average gsl/ssl/pl vod). With PL having problem to find sponsors this season it kinda looks bad for next year :/ I am almost sure certain people in this community know more already, cmon guys tease some stuff or something -.- You can also pm me | ||

If anything, as long as we keep the passion there will be a day when RTS or similar genres become popular again like it was in Smash bros I believe. We just have to love the game for our own reasons and hope for best | ||
