Yep, they decided: League of Legends

only the viewers, not the players (and that's probably because they never gave sc2 a chance)
TY, Stats, Inno and others said they enjoy sc2 more and even Flash said he really liked sc2.
Did they not understand bw on a deeper level? 🤔

Holly lack of context batman. Please stop throwing such things around, otherwise people might start to believe it at face value and another internet myth arises.

Few days ago the news of OGN the tv channel that hosted starleagues and proleague closing hit. Did you really just make an account to say this? lol.. You have to take into account other statistics though as well, for instance: Afreeca GSL vs ASL Finals youtube viewer count that currently sits at SC2 307K views BW 121K views Usually the SC2 GSL finals get about 100k views by the end of the first day as well Probably because the majority watch Afreeca SL finals on ... Afreeca? Hello?
Also comparing the BW ENGLISH vods to the SC2 ENGLISH vods. 90% of Koreans watch the restreams of progamers. Few koreans watch the Tastosis cast.
How is it everytime that you guys conveniently leave out 90% of korean BW viewers when you count this shit. Do you REALLY believe that when ASL gets 200k+, and SC2 barely gets 10k viewers, that somehow SC2 has more vod views than BW in total across ALL streams, restreams and korean stream, on afreeca as well??

It’s hard enough to trap lightning in a bottle once, never mind to repeat the trick, indeed some of the various factors involved I think make it nearly impossible. Be it PC bang culture, be it the subsequent development of accessible VoIP chat or whatever, all sorts of factors. I don’t think it’s coincidental that team games became way more popular when you could play and talk to your friends easily. Prior to that, I don’t think playing 1v1 games felt as isolating, because the alternative of that easy social experience didn’t actually exist yet. I mean going on a tangent but some people seem to want to call SC2 a failure when I’m not sure it was actually possible for it to replicate its success in Korea, and via other metrics it’s done pretty well, and exceptionally well if we consider it vs other 1v1 focused games in general, and RTS games in general. Again, I was only focusing on the mr.funguy's " GSL only gets 3k viewers" comment. Which is simply not true. And I don't think any RTS that sells 3 million units in its first month will ever be considered a failure. Let alone having a healthy pro scene 10 years on that continues push the games limits.
Aye not really sure why I replied to your post with what I said rather than others haha.

Did you read og's post? Morbidius is one of the most "elitist" of the korean fans here on TL.

With the conclusion of the most recent tournament, should we rename this thread to "Has European StarCraft hit rock bottom?" Only 37% of the ro8 were Europeans, while the rest were Koreans. Even then, those 3 EU guys are ro8 regulars. Those guys couldn't even manage to beat koreans who were playing during non-optimal time, ping, and broken wrists/back (seriously, why are Korean T's so fragile?). With no new EU blood making it through, the EU scenes look like it's heading towards the same direction as the NA and KR scene.
Seriously though, we should just accept that the top of sc2 is super competitive at the moment and any of the top guys can win any given tournament depending on their condition that day/weekend.

There was a fantastic interview by stats and ty where they discuss the worrying state of korean sc2. But you can see the game is also highly imbalanced. The fact that tier 4 foreigners are taking down tier 1 koreans shows the state of the game. Thats what happens when a company stops investing in a game that isn't profitable and you lose people like David Kim. For allllll the problems with WoL or HoTs, it was never this imbalanced (among races but also between early-mid-late game).

Well the issue with the interview is that the Korean scene has been dead and locked in this state for at least 3 years now. Probably even more. THe region lock didn't help, just killed the lower and mediocre Koreans faster because they were Korean and as such they are genetically better at SC2. (remember, the region lock is still a thing) So it's a nice thing they talk about it now, but it's way too late. It's like discussing the Titanic state when all the life boats were already launched and the ship is broken into the two parts and 80 % under the water

Tier 4 foreigners taking down tier 1 koreans? Which ones?
And you think LotV's current state to be the most imbalanced in the history of Sc2?

David Kim was the guy that had the bright idea of throwing all known balance principles off by deciding to launch the 12 worker start. David Kim admitted to being diamond max during late wol/early hots and still thought he could decide about balance. Under David Kim we have seen some of the most abusive metas in history prevail for months on end.
David Kim is very good at PR, but this game is better off without him.

Can you provide the sources for the following:
1) David Kim decided to use the 12 worker start
2) David Kim was diamond
Thank you.
