As the king of the 1st generation, champion of the 2nd and a faded legend in the 3rd generation, Boxer experienced both the high and low of e-sport industry. He experienced the "high point" of e-sport, the point in which the imagination of the mainstream was captured by this video game. He was one of the primary reasons why the mainstream's attention was captured and he dreamed like the rest during that period of glory just what "e-sport would become if this level of attention persists". Sadly, the attention faded away just like any fad, to Boxer's disappointment, hence he is "bitching" about the decline of e-sport. Those of us who followed e-sport only recently perceives the current industry as in "fine shape". To Boxer, who experienced the peak glory of the mainstream attention, the current e-sport industry is pretty trashy, as its current audience is limited. I bet majority of the old fans who followed e-sports back in the days have stopped paying attention. During his prime, Boxer experienced first hand just what active media appearance and giving out interviews with personality could do to promote an industry. The current generations lacks that, a champion who is willing to reach out to the mainstream. He understand what brought SC into the eyes of the public years ago, and he wants that attention back. The thing is, it isn't going to happen. So...let's wait for SC2 and see what heavenly or hellish news it shall bring with it. | ||

During the Boxer/Yellow finals audience share was like 1.5% During the recent Hyuk MSL run audience share was also this high. And then there was another figure for the JD/Flash qf's but i forget the numbers. He also pointed out the vastly increased number of games played now to explain lower audiences at PL games. And also that studio's have moved to a harder to get to/less pop dense area? Anyway this pretty much put paid to the suggestion that esports was dying or sick in my mind | ||

Even when SC2 comes out, I plan to be a player, I was expecting everyone to jump at this. Or is it old news? EDIT: Oh, wait missed that there were more than one page in the thread. | ||

Yes, she isn't nearly as good as the real S and most of A ranks but you can tell she really loves the game and is passionate about what she does. Why take it away from her? The main reason she gets so much bashing is because she loses to B-teamers, yet gets more airtime/attention than most A players (due to being a girl). No personal opinions btw, just the way she's seen. That said, I really hope she makes a comeback someday. | ||

The UFC started becoming mainstream when Dana White forced his fighters to give on-air interviews that dispelled many of the stereotypes casual observers had of the sport back when it was first coming onto the scene. key to any fanbase are players that fans can connect/identify with. | ||
