I dont care anymore 2026
But I thought the Koreans was heavy into starcraft and shyt...
they are. It still has multiple $100,000+ tournaments a year. It still has a huge competitive scene and sponsorships. More than ANY console game. If Starcraft 2 is dead competitively I dont know what you would call Call of Duty ? That shyt beyond dead I guess
WoW is the most successful game of all time. By leaps and bounds.Blizzard know how to make truckloads of money. It might actually work.If not, they still got boatloads of money. How much did they make off WoW? Goddamn
Also didn't this happen a week ago OP?
yeah jan 4th, but its been all over twitch today so I just heard about it, I dont really visit other sites especially reddit or neogaf
Koreans die over these games

Nah. SC2 never actually picked up in Korea. Its predecessor Broodwar was the popular one, it was on TV and its best players were stars and shyt. SC2 was never anywhere near as popular as Broodwar in Korea and LoL filled in where Broodwar once was.
SC2 was the popular e-sport internationally for a couple of years - I mean the US and Europe - but not Korea. As of now, it goes...
1. LoL - popular basically everywhere, US, Europe, China, Taiwan, Korea etc.
2. DOTA - not quite as big as LoL but popular in similar countries except Korea.
3. CS Go - catching up with DOTA number wise but not as international - huge in Europe and NA, popular in some other countries like Australia, Vietnam, Brazil etc.
Those are the ones that matter really.

Honestly it feels like you are being fallacious here breh. You know SC2 isn't doing numbers anymore. In terms of e-sports, SC2 is dead and CoD was never alive to begin with.
what are you comparing their numbers to ? DOTA and League ? Seems a little unfair, CSGO is clear #3 and Starcraft is clear #4 in competitive games - I dont see how being top 5 is dead in a $450 million a year market
they dont actually.. Call of Duty had a tournament today, peaked at 35k viewers
no call of duty tournament in recent memory has hit 100k viewers
now CS:GO, League of Legends, DOTA 2 tournaments? 100-500k viewers all day every time
edit: im not too sure any call of duty tournament has ever hit 100k viewers
its 1:10 am DOTA 2 has 120k viewers, League of LEgends has 101k viewers right now
Call of Duty? 10k viewers
mlg has had several tourneys get over 100k for cod, and even hit over 200k just last year. And that doesnt include the people watching on the xbox live Dashboardthey dont actually.. Call of Duty had a tournament today, peaked at 35k viewers

receipts ?
50k off from 200k
at the highest number of viewers for Call of Duty being what league of legends hit daily for no real reason other than being there CS:GO had 600k viewers at once
the link i posted said columbus got over 200k.50k off from 200k
CS:GO had 600k viewers at once
and of course cs gets more. it's more popular
as long as you acknowledge that
its ok, im sure Activision/Blizzard have plans to turn Call of Duty competitive scene around. First step will be taking the tournaments back to PC instead of console
