Seems like Tasteless is in denial about the death of sc2. Even with all the teams collapsing, sponsors leaving, and viewer counts going down, he still won't concede that sc2 is dying.
It's a shame, because he is a talented commentator and could do very well commentating other titles. There's really no point in clinging on to sc2 and hoping for a miracle resurgence. This is one of the few times that I really do wish Tasteless would lose his passion towards sc2, that way we can see him succeed with other titles.
Tasteless if you read this, don't take this the wrong way. I'm only concerned for your future, wishing you the best.
Is this copy pasta?

Hi SuperFanBoy,
although it could be that I m feeding trolls here:
That is exactly what Tasteless was saying during the interview - countering your points.
He knows Blizzards Plans for SC2 (A Billion Dollar Company, world leader in gaming) he knows the viewerships of Afreecaa, so thats why is positive, not out of some sentiment or emotion. There are facts behind his position.
And even leaving Tasteless out of this: if you follow other Scenes, its amazing to see how stable SC2 still is. Remember: its not about the size, its about how you use it...

The point about Starcraft not needing to get back to top eSports popularity is a very good one. If the scene is stable, if people still enjoy playing and watching, then it's all good.

Cool interview, thanks Lambertus for getting up early to produce some content for the community.
Regarding the question around getting bored of watching the same thing over and over - I don't see how it's is any different from other spectator sports that haven't changed for a hundred years. Tennis and Football spectators don't complain either, no two matches are ever the same and the skill level is almost always improving! Those that love the game, whatever it may be, and keep watching get rewarded with understanding of the subtleties and nuances, not to mention as well as the story lines.
SC/SC2 has arguably more variety in many ways than other sports due to its 6 match-ups, each playing uniquely. I'll even take a punt and go so far as to assert that there are very few examples indeed of competitive games with SC's level of asymmetry that have also managed to achieve the level of balance that Blizzard have. Sure it's not perfect but it's pretty damn close given the challenge.

@AaBbCc
thanks I like your point with traditional sports. Once I had the chance to talk to a sports journalist, and he stated something similar. The longer you follow a sport, the more you change how you watch and enjoy it. Its keeps evolving.

PS: Any mods could maybe give this a place on "Community News"? That would be so nice!
