I suspect it is going to die quietly, solely because it has made the fatal mistake of challenging the market leader without being sufficiently different from said market leader. Yes I know there are details and I know the balancing is different and frankly, DoTA2 is the better game of the two. However to the layman there just isn't enough of a difference. On the other hand, there are constant small tournaments going on in the Blizzard SC2 scene and it is on the verge of having an expansion released which, coupled with a likely change in business model, is going to result in an explosion of interest in Starcraft 2 ala Brood War. It makes sense for a player to switch to Starcraft 2 at this time, just before an expansion. A bit confused. Market leader? What market leader? The market leader is LOL. IS that what you are referring to? Also Mike Morhaimme has stated that there won't be a (signifcant) change to any Sc2 business model (unfortunately as the current one is suboptimal). | ||

But there is no doubt that Code S right now is 90% ex BW players and 10% 15-16 year old kids.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they pick up Singsing again. Black refused to practice with the team, so with him gone he might give the team another chance. | ||
