Guess Blizzard really is cutting down on Esports content in general throughout the entire company. Esport has been pretty much moved to Activision with the moves at Blizzard + shutting down MLG. | ||

Unfortunately the RTS genre is pretty dead these days. Warcraft 3 Reforged is probably going to be a big hit in the first weeks and maybe months but I really can't see this game becoming the next SC2. | ||

Some new blood in the position could also be a good thing! Yes, many are understandably jittery. Let's all hope it is that simple and not a symptom of something else. Some variation of Occam's Razor could apply: the simplest explanation is likely the right one. I'm glad Adrian Harris had the foresight to point out that he gave notice a month ago - otherwise some might be (rightly) having conniption fits. We all read the tea leaves to interpret the state of the union in different ways, but we all share a love for the game. | ||

The only problem RTS has, it translates bad to console. People claimed RTS is dead for a while now and here we are. Still loving RTS Besides Blizz there are a few interesting projects developed right now. Out of the top of head there is Iron Harvest and A year of Rain | ||
