And do you think you'll earn more money at D3 than SC2? Do you really see yourself playing D3 like you're playing SC2. I am unable to compare those 2 games at a pro-level :<

Lot of nos coming out for the poll. Maybe if they all leave I can get promoted faster :D

No man, it definatly wont. You might see a few number of people playing starcraft 2 casually try out diablo 3 and play it for awhile, but even then people will go back and forth. It will have no effect on the pro scene, at all. ever.

:D

Oh you are right! This is kind of embarassing... but I don´t know how to edit a poll...
Edit: Isn't it applied in the in the 'Yes!' option?
|
I know i won't play sc2 for a while after d3 launches but I may come back to it every once in a while. Though I know I will keep watching gsl.
|
I'm boycotting D3,and sc2 is pretty much the only game i need.
|
Well, I have preorderd it, but as I know myself I will keep playing SC2, because eSports is my passion.

Well, I'm banking on the fact that I'm low enough so that people in the leagues above me are still casual (you can have plat leaguers leaving for D3? Right?...right?)
And that people coming in have no idea wtf they're doing because they just picked this game up thinking it's farmville with void rays, and thus have no idea what D3 is either.
|
the only people who will quit are lower leagues and skillcapped masters, so no d3 won't hurt the sc2 community, might even help it by narrowing the field to people with greater potential allowing them to be noticed more easily etc

That are like 99.5% of all foreign sc2 players lol!

SC2 being relatively bland at this point is what will/has caused the scene to diminish. I've played like 10 solo games total and maybe 20 team games.
I'd honestly rather play WC3... I like heroes since I'm just a casual player for RTS games (even if they make or break a game) and at least it has a usable custom games interface (which is why I played BW and WC3 for years... I WONDER what could've kept me playing SC2)
SC2 will get smaller until HoTS releases, get a small boost (not as large as WoL), fall back again (faster this time) and do the same for VoL and then die out 2-3 years after that at best (besides a few hardcore players). It's a normal life span for a game.
|
To play sc2 well you have to invest a TON of time into it or your skill drops off dramaticly.
To play d2 well you need to play casually and be smart about what you do.
huge flaw with sc2/rts games in general.
|
I don't care about D3 and don't plan on buying it, so... Yes, I will keep playing SC2 x)
|
It's more like uhh.. I'll play this shit once and then continue with Starcraft ! ^^
|
I'm done with all other games when d3 is out. I just hope it will live up to his predecessor.
|
I will play Diablo 3 but I will eventually get bore because it won't be competitive and item grinding gets old.
|
Of my 20 or so buds that play sc2, ranging from gold to masters.
20 out of 20 plan to play d3 pretty heavily and let sc2 take a back seat. Sc2 will regain popularity when HotS beta comes out, or if D3 gets played out in a few weeks.
