It's okay. I'll be watching with two screens to compensate for you

Omg we are about to go into April. Spring is coming and we still not heard anything. I think it was a silent passing. Let's mourn together and find a date we can make it official.

They are already going into ticket sale and are announcing the schedule bit by bit. Should be pretty obvious by now, but I guess the "official" end date will be when the entire schedule is released.

When the last announcement is done and the full schedule is out. Not a second before!
Remember, as long as the cat is in the box we don't know if it's dead or alive.

No it should be an opportunity to say it was MVP on third thought. Nothing like reviving the endless GOAT debate to keep the community alive.

Only to set up an article that says the GOAT was Inno on fourth thought because something something 2013-2017 was most competitive SC2. Then in a few months Maru can be goat again, and on and on until SC3 is announced.

He's kind of right though... I think that is a very fair point to make that the most competitive era is weighted the most. Everyone thought drg nesta MVP etc were untouchable until kespa switched over to SC2 and within a year GSL was almost entirely kespa only no etf. That's like people think Serral/Clem are untouchable now. Yeah they look untouchable because the competitive field is not as intense.

Yeah, love how EWC was saying all games will be announced by the end of January (or maybe sometime in February). They even had a count-down timer for each of the games "to-be-announced".
Now it just has a "Coming Soon", like we are fewer than 100 days away from the event start date. Players will need to get in a team, practice, book accommodation, etc.
At this point, I suppose SC2 will just die a silent death. Unfortunate for one of the eSports games that brought eSports to where it is now (admittedly, a lot has to do with SC and its reputation)

Wish they had the balls to step up and tell us it's over. What an undignified, slow and painful death for the godfather of esports...
|
welp... it was a good run.
F.

It’s ridiculous we haven’t got a word from anyone at ESL. April 2nd I give up hope.
Blizzard is throwing away SC2 an esport with a massive legacy. All they’d need to do is make the odd tweet, have biannual balance patches, and maybe support the odd tournament to keep the brand alive which is worth a good chunk of money.
If SC2 esports goes down the toilet I’m going to have a hard time buying their inevitable Hell Divers clone

If this is indeed the end, I am going to be rather upset with all involved, and highly unlikely to go on supporting said organizations and gaming studios with my money. It appears I am not the only one.
Even if they do finally announce something, I am not going to be happy. Take note.

Imagine canceling WTL for this, and with Oliveira retirement, I dont expect the Chinese community to support SC2 that strong anymore.
