Regardless of the situation, we will still action upon "dead game" comments. As this is a sensitive issue for SC2 fans, please do not come into this thread and talk about SC2 players switching over to BW. This thread is also not about bashing Blizzard, David Kim, or the WCS system.

SC2 scene in Korea will be something very similar to what foreign scene is. Just a bunch of teamless players or players on odd obscure teams trying to compete on whatever form of WCS there is gonna be but still be called GSL to create an illusion of something that once was. Only difference is that they won't have to travel half across the globe.

I guess this happened for a lot of reasons, probably the number of viewers is not enough to substain and to justify a big commitment in resources like this. Dont know how much blizzard patch plans and broodwar hd played a role in this, would be nice to have an inside explaining the situation. I only hope that remaining koreans players (except jin air players) will be picked up by non korean teams and will attend all tournaments in EU and NA, and possibly evn living in teamhouse like myi one. I dont know how much of a success will be new broodwar in Korea, but i dont except big numbers outside of there. Simply RTS are appreciated by a quite small but very solid fanbase, they have too much of an intrinsecal complexity in my opinion. But sc2 is at the moment (and broodwar hd in the near future i guess) the only competitive RTS, so it won't die for sure untill another software house will do a better and more appealing RTS (very difficult task).

I guess Blizzard did managed stop the Korean supremacy em SC2.

Just outright killed the game in that country

With most of the teams disbanding, I guess no GSL next year too.

Jesus christ, what a sad day today is. Let's hope someone can step up and give us a sc2 team league in Korea or even just more tournaments. I assume Kespa are going to stop everything with SC2 now and just move onto something else? Will Afreeca keep up GSL? Will anything happen, how sad

ProLeague for me was the most entertaining sc2 tournament by far.
Long seasons, matches every week, sick linups with the best players in the world, crazy bo1 snipes, ceremonies, rivalries and on top of that the almighty FPL with its own dedicated threads and analyses.
It were great times, I'll miss them.
I already do

I wouldn't. I can't imagine too many Koreans want to live in China. I'd rather expect them to switch to other esports games.

It's sad but feels good to be right.

I said SC2 Korea was going to die. 4 Starleague in a year with less money ? Legacy of the void is shit. Nerchio able to beat Inno, Zest, Maru... Yeah what a joke.

HOTS was very good and the popularity was growing in Korea. But Blizzard tries to save an already dead game in Europe/USA. Great result : now the game is finally dead everywhere.

After Legacy and Diablo 3 i think Blizzard if finally dead too. Wont talk about Heroes, Overwatch. Blizzard is now the new EA Games/Activision. At laest we have Arkane, CD Project now.

Actually I think the future of SC2 is bright. Blizzard adding a lot of features and changing the balance/gameplay is great.

No more SPL, but 200k for the Blizzcon winner and 200k for the winner of WESG... hard to say sc2 is dead haha

It is online, only the playoffs are offline.

From my perspective, I would even say the future of Korean Starcraft scene relies on China, we have plenty of SC2 events coming up and even more money being put into it.

Terrible news. Blizzard must step in to save the Korean SC2 scene.

Unfortunately, it's only now, after 6 years, they're seriously adding proper features, which was way too late.
