Yeah, I personally have a hard time sitting through an entire match of CS:GO.
Then again, I have a hard time sitting through an entire SC2 Bo5+ series nowadays.
At the very least, I still enjoy playing CS:GO. SC2, not so much anymore.

im not surprised, not at all.

I'll never understand watching a team FPS
But a lot of people do so it's a smart buisiness decision. Let's hope they don't go full MLG on us though

My main game is Sc2 since WoL release but having played Cs:GO recently the last 4-5 months, I am can understand the move from DH: It is an awesome game! And I didn't even know SC2 was the "main game". So I guess no harm, no foul. It all depends on what changes they want to make? Any info on that?

I don't really see this being a big deal, unfortunately Counter Strike has always had a bigger following than StarCraft I feel. As long as SC will still be shown and have a prize pool comparable, I don't see this as an issue.

Ohlen gets booted and CS:GO becomes main game. Hmm.

CS GO is fun as hell to play. But I just don't understand it as a spectator sport.... I mean you can only see so much of what's going on at once...

And for the people that are saying that CS scene is "growing"... LOL. CS was always more popular than SC(2 and BW). No im quite sure bw was bigger than 1.6 as an e-sport. I dont have any numbers but i dont think any esport is close to what bw was at its peak.
I cant help but notice that valve just made the same game better in csgo if compared to 1.6 (mostly because of the match makng system) while sc2 is just a completely different game from bw. In this case it turned out to be better to stick with what worked i think.
Cs to me feels like a real esport and i just love to follow the same pros who were good when i watched 1.6 ten years ago. I hope it can get really big now that the scene is united again.
The thing i miss the most in cs is a good forum though... Liquidcs? Pls

I don't see how CS is casual. It takes a lot of skill to master some weapons and be good at sensing enemy, etc. I still only play StarCraft but we shouldn't underestimate a good game like CS. Either way, Blizzard has been too careless of SC the past few years, and I guess we/they deserve it.

CSGO the true esport? Lol

It's an attitude like that which doesn't help StarCraft. Community is like "League of Legends? Lol. Dota? Lol. Counter-Strike? Lol.". Well, the thing is StarCraft forgot to compete. It can't only rely on its glorious days of BW.

1.6 was bigger globally than BW(more fans outside of Korea). But as far as actual numbers go, CS was no where close to BW just based on the size of organizations behind it and the finals crowds were much larger. Although to compare the two is like having a fight between a 300lb man and a 150lb man. BW was on TV. 1.6 was Demos and videos.

Starcraft is the best, RTS is for the brilliant minds, the strategists and the people who can actually think
CS is like maybe you can be fast, but you can't think, you're just kind of dumb.
It is popular to the masses but I am happy supporting the less popular game because it is the more demanding and I love to watch it

While I think that Starcraft is maybe the most rounded and the most demanding game out there, to say that CS players are dumb is pretty ignorant

about time, even if CS;GO at his flaws (in game and the players ) it feels like the fucking future, it is EVOLVING.
I don't think sc2 (even if i'm a fan of it and its player ) should keep the big stage anymore. What's the point on having the CS;GO crowd PACKED in a small place when they could fit in the big stage even for the fucking lowest stage of the tourney.
I don't see the point on having such a big venue if we keep the space to ourself. This is not THE SC2 community vs THE CS community : We are esport and we need to not be total asses and give what's deserved to each other.
If sc2 ever goes past CS and the crowd gets bigger then maybe we'll get it again but i doubt it.

If you think you don't need to be a smart player to play well Counter strike, you certainly have bigger issues than CS replacing SC2 as their main game.
