Hearthstone numbers are starting to drop so maybe sc2 can pick up that spot in a year or so

But they added DH:France this year. +1 - 1 = 0, back to the original state, that is, not decreasing the support to SC2. They added a whole new event, they didn't add sc2 to an event that didn't have it before.

Which, in terms of SC2, means that there is still the same number of events, which means the same support given to SC2. I don't get your point.

I really don't understand how anyone can think this is not a problem

Bucharest has been a good event over years and a staple of the DH SC2 Open, and they dropped it for freaking minecraft... Well yeah but for now, DH's involvement in SC2 is the same as before, not less important. Besides, DH is a company that needs money, if they incorporate Minecraft is probably not for shit and giggles. I know that shitty stuff makes money you just have to look at the top song charts most of the time... You seem pretty disregarding of Minecraft tbh. I don't know much about it, but if there are tournaments then there are probably legit communities and competitions, and then I fail to see how is Minecraft some "shitty stuff" while SC2 is not. His post is funny because Minecraft's popularity is through the roof. In comparison, SCII isn't known by most people atm. Notch certainly made one hell of a game with minecraft. Makes you wonder what they have in mind for competition though considering the pacing off the game.

Whoever is the new main CEO, one thing is clear: Money > tradition... So fucking sad and annoying... Jews everywhere...
Games for 10 year olds over the best RTS game in history of eSports...

It was inevitable when Robert Ohlen was ousted, he was the only one keeping SC2 in DreamHack it seems. Well thanks for all the memories DreamHack.
But seriously, Minecraft? Is it going to be some marathon creation thing or a competitive battle somehow.

So this time it's not like DH:France? It's not just a "we don't announce it yet"?
|
Robert Ohlen has done a lot to bring us sc2 at DH. I remember him coming on shows like unfiltered partially drunk. He was really funny and informative on sc2 and esport tournaments. I dunno how u completely remove sc2. Scale down, fine. But remove? meh

It was removed because no one watched it

Edit: Yes, yes it does.

I tried to report, it was already reported. Liquid is the best venue for gaming discussion for a reason- the moderation is strict.
That guy will be warned or banned.
On-topic, no one has explained how Minecraft could possibly be at a Dreamhack. I'm just shocked.

Something else to consider us Bucharest is always the most stacked dh especially last two years with inno life taeja sos etc
|
10 year olds are the future, and they are also the move proactive in consuming products and media content, so DH getting on that train to capture that market.
The competition itself is irrelevant, because obviously there is no competition in a game like minecraft.

not really... hearthstone twitch viewers are still as high as ever
even single solo streamers for HS command 20K viewers on a regular day to day basis (Forsen, Trump, etc)
the best SC2 streamer Winter only gets 3K viewers on average on comparison
and HS gets regular new released content, (new card expansions every 4-6 months)...
even if SC2 gets to replace a game at Dreamhack, it wont be HS, it will be something else...

morhaime is jewish. most people on this board know SC1 and SC2 are mike's favourite games . the only thing that stopped Activision from turning Blizzard into a WoW expansion factory was Uncle Mike. relative to the money that WoW makes.. SC2 should've never existed.. if we only look at money issues.
fortunately, Uncle Mike doesn't just look at money issues. and he is jewish ? wow! who woulda thought?
the hate that gets directed at Mike's company every day on this board and Uncle Mike still stands there and smiles and says .. "please give us your input.. we need the community".
i do not know how Mr. Morhaime does it. but, i'm glad he does because i'm about to hit the "find match" button.
