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.

I don't even play SC2 I play LoL, but I watch Sc2 religiously as an eSport it had so much going for it. RTS seems to be dying so sad as it was the truest of all genres. How much of this is to do with Blizzard??

So....what does this mean for the foreign scene? Unlike broodwar, SC2 has a much healthier foreign scene and a far weaker Korean scene.

KT players were just moving houses!

Anyway, foreigner sc2 is actually pretty stable now, with there even being some new and upcoming players. I really do expect sc2 to pivot even further towards the foreign scene and especially China. Big market there.

Yeah it is sad, but it won't mean the end of the world.

Blizzard will inject the foreginer scene with a lethal dose of poison.

China was the biggest viewing market for Proleague, if that could not sustain them, I'm not very optimistic on the future unless Blizzard intervenes directly.

I guess that means WCS 2017 will be regionlocked to Blizzard employees only.

So sad. I don't know if I want to ever play sc2 again, honestly. Like I was never any good but I always wanted to be just like my heroes.

Who are these new players you speak of? Blizzard did nothing at all this year when people have been saying Zerg is heavily favoured in the late game against Terran for example. It's back to the way it was in WoL right now. Win before Hive or die trying.

Is there news of GSL/SSL? I fear we may lose them as well.

Proleague was my main source of watching SC2, I've been addicted to watching SC2 for years now. I tried to watch LoL or Heroes and they are boring as fuck. I'm depressed.

Mr Chae confirmed the new season(s?) of GSL at the last season's finals.
With SPOTV cutting out TV time for the proleague, I'm wondering if the GSL will be the last tournament left
