Man I used to love SC2 3-4 years ago. Watched streams non-stop and played games all day, attended a few LANs. That shyt dead though. Blizzard fukked up with it hardcore. :manny:

Everyone watches MOBAs now, I still prefer SC though, still the hardest game on earth competitively

Its impossible to measure difficulty though. It used to have the most talented gamers on the face of the earth when all the old BW pros joined though but most of those have gone and the Western scene turned into a joke when Naniwa, Idra, Thorzain etc left.

Go play CS:Go breh, thats where a lot of dudes went. Great game to watch as well.

Idra and naniwa was garbage tho :heh: they never won shyt

Watching idra get mad tho was slightly entertaining :ld:


But they was never top tier :heh: them koreans used to sweep them every series :bryan: not sure how you could use them for a measurement of how the game is doing..

Idra and Naniwa were like Kevin Garnett lead timberwolves. Theyd make the playoffs but get bounced in the 1st round every year


Basically Idra and Naniwa were the bottom of the bottom of sc2 competive scene.

I never said they were top-tier. They did however take games off top tier Koreans, especially Nani. Compare Idra and Naniwa to the competitive players of the non-Korea scene right now and you'll get my point (well you'll just ignore me point but its clear to anyone that actually played/followed the scene) - the talent drain from the international scene has been massive.

Anyway you are just taking one thing and ignoring everything else - the huge fall off in viewership, the non-stop retirements both in Korea and internationally, the fact that right now SC2 is number 11 viewer wise on Twitch getting about a tenth of the viewers it used to get. BW gets a shyt ton more viewers on Afreeca. All the top SC2 streamers are off playing CS:Go or Hots or random shyt. SC2 is irrelevant breh, no one cares about it anymore. And I can tell you didn't even follow the scene that closely so I'm not sure why you are so bothered.

ive followed the SC scene just as much as the CS:GO scene :heh: im a viewer, not a player .. Starcraft is still #4 in esports, maybe #4 is a failure to you, but until it drops out of top 5 then why talk about it not being viewed? it might be #11 right now, but it usually stays in top 10 and during asian times its usually top 3-5 ( 2 am PST time) only behind league of legends, dota and cs go

you seem to just be in here talking about a lot of shyt you know nothing about... Idra never been a main player in SC2 and even then he hasnt been on the scene in what ? 2 years ? If you think SC2 fell off 2 years ago :beli: you are more delusional than you are leading on here :beli:

until ESL and Dream hack drop Sc2 then you cant say its dead :camby:
