Re: And herein lies MLG's downfall....

In Response To: Re: And herein lies MLG's downfall.... (Schooly D) : Yes : Hahahahahahaha. Oh God my balls . Ok I'll give you that execution in Halo is comparable. It certainly beats out Starcraft 2, but the level of execution required of Brood War vs Halo is at least debateable. : Like Cody said, this is the main reason. Same thing with fighting games. : What. Counter Strike's spectator mode suffers from the same problems all : non-1v1 FPSs do. It's better than Halo's total lack of a spectator mode, : but the problem's always the same. I was getting at Halo's total lack; yeah. : Brood War was always dead everywhere but Korea. Sorry, but no. This reeks of a reddit/sc2 perspective. There was most definitely a lively foreigner scene. Obviously nothing on the level that exists for SC2 today, but upwards of ten thousand players active on ICCUP on any given day attested to a strong scene. It didn't have anything on the level of dedicated tournaments like MLG, but it was consistently a WCG competitive game, had many many online tournaments and was lively enough. It existed in the wake of the boom in the early 2000s and sustained on the back of Korea's thriving scene. Here's a small taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0fV5KADifY : Even in Korea it's on its way : out. Not exactly. Blizzard is throwing money at OnGameNet to get them to add SC2 to the current Brood War Proleague. BW itself is still the dominant RTS game among your average korean gamer. BW has sustained some serious blows in the past 2 years. Between the match fixing scandal, Blizzard's initial severe sanctions against KeSPa and now Blizzard's push to get SC2 added to current BW leagues, it doesn't look great. But I certainly wouldn't say it's dying. It'll be interesting to see what happens if in fact they do make the current Proleague half and half. : Starcraft 2 is currently getting its shit pushed in (in terms of : viewership) by LoL and DOTA2, and it's only going to get worse. We'll see : how your tune changes as time passes. LoL and Dota2 are definitely pushing in. LoL co-exists, and Dota 2 is pushing in on the back of more money being thrown at it (i.e. Valve's million dollar tourney) My tune won't necessarily be different, it'll just include the part I haven't been talking about here: $Cash$Money$

Ride it.
