It's now over a year later, and only DOTArds still are active. I'm sad. Even MYCORE is only active with DOTA. We need starcraft 2 at least, if not battlefield or counterstrike!

You keep telling yourself you need sc2 in tournaments when there is simply nobody left playing the game, the SEA server is nearly empty and compared to what valve has done to DOTA, blizzard shows that they have absolutely no idea how to run the scene and the scene is general is shrinking,just look at how pathetic WCS was compared to TI3. There is simply no reason to launch a local sc2 tournament when nobody is cares about the game anymore.

Well I still do. If you realize, the players in SEA that do care, already left and played at American region now. That's why SEA server is mostly empty.

Then you gotta ask yourself why they choose to play at American region instead of SEA, simply put there is simply not enough SEA players left and those that remain all went to the NA server instead. Its obvious that SC2 is not doing well worldwide, it barely gets attention at Korea anymore (when Blizzard so naively think they can out muscle KESPA), NA scene is shrinking even though Europe is still doing okay, DOTA and LoL are much much much more popular in all 3 regions for very good reasons and sponsors are willing to put more money into the other 2 MOBA's instead of the RTS that's struggling.

Starcraft not doing well worldwide? Then you haven't been following the starcraft world championships. Hundreds of thousands game sessions in europe and america. You can see the stats online when you log in.



And here's some from europe.

Well if you followed Ti3 for Dota 2, there was 1.1 million concurrent viewers for the event during the finals (250k in game, 500k+ on streams and 250k+ on china streams) and that was during WCS. Even Teamliquid's boss was at the event instead of WCS, the WCS stream at that period barely had close to 90k -100k views at the peak period and it averaged at 50k viewers (some LoL streamers get that number of viewers at their peak period) at group stages. Hell even our local cybercafes set up projectors to watch our Malaysian team play in Ti3 and there was HUGE crowd watching outside the Cybercafes. There is also a visible number of empty chairs during the WCS event compared to Ti3 and it was obvious Blizzard expected a way bigger crowd and it fell very very short. The way Blizzard planned the event clearly showed how little they understood how esports worked and both GomTV's Mr. Chae and Teamliquid's boss Nazgul had to agree on the stupidity of putting WCS at the same time with Ti3.

As for Starcraft 2 in Asia, you can forget it ever getting big with other titles far exceeding in popularity. Starcraft 2 has not been in the top 10 most played Korean games for at least 3 years already, League of Legends has basically replaced Broodwar as the most popular video game when Blizzard had the biggest and fattest chance to do it, instead they botched everything by releasing a subpar game with a subpar online service and making enemies with Kespa. At China, Dota and LoL are far far popular and Starcraft 2 never stood a chance in even taking a small market share.

At US, the scene is shrinking so fast its not even funny due to the massive popularity of LoL and the rise of American Dota, even the latest MLG has not included SC2 in their events as both Dota and LoL will easily get 3-10X more views compared to the SC2 stream.

I myself lost interest in the game extremely quickly due to how poorly the multiplayer and Battle.net 2.0 was designed, 99% of my friendlist simply stopped playing after the second month. Even I wondered if they could release a title so bad at launch and hype it so much, how awful would Diablo 3 end up during launch and my god was Diablo 3 was awful.

comparing a once a year tournament (breaking all teams after tat) against one which runs 3 times a year, with 3 regional events running on 3 different timezones (WCS2 finals is this weekend btw) which is just a qualifier for the main WCS event at Blizzcon which haven even happen yet... sounds legit... icon_idea.gif

jz play what u are happy instead of comparing, learn not to compare apple with oranges cause ppl comparing esport games e-peen is retarded... learn to accept that more esport games especially on various genre (RTS vs Moba vs FPS vs Fighting) is good for exposure regardless... else i'll expect how ppl would QQ on the fighting game scenes as well doh.gif

ps: SCBW was totally dead internationally, compared to what we have now even for sc2 scene alone; this is growth with more tournaments sprouting up as well...

I play both dota 2 and sc2. Honestly, i feel that sc2 is a better and harder game where it require more focus ,need nice miro and macro. Dota 2 and LOL are much easier IMHO. People tend to play dota 2 and LOL is because these games are FTP. I think Blizzard should organize more tourney, advertise more SC2, and raise up tourney price pool. Apart from that, I hope that blizzard can implement clan wars in LOTV.

Sc2 is growing but is slower compare to dota 2 and LOL.

You dont like sc2? nobody cares... go away and stop bothering our community then... sc2 multiplayer is fine.. just because you might have been a bronze league scrub doesnt mean its *poorly designed* most of SEA especially malaysians are cheapskates so ofc SEA server is almost empty.. doesnt mean the other servers aren't. Even so sc2 is still one of the best esports. If you like dota or LoL go play them.. nobody is stopping you .. just dont come here and preach about how huge those games are... we all know most of the community there is weak minded and cant control more than 1 thing at a time


EDIT: you might wanna change your display picture... you look f***ing retarded smile.gif
