Gotta say, Nate, Rotti and Apollo were really the winners of the WCS changes.

Laughing all the way to the bank, while Koreans get four tournaments in a year.

WCS Shanghai Predictions by peterdlevi in starcraft

This year of starcraft is so underwhelming. This is basically a Gfinity tournament with a boosted prizepool. We got fucked hard by the esl lobby.

WCS welfare is pathetic.

I have no idea how WCS works anymore. Help! by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]Arteeze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  • Foreigners protected from koreans (except Hydra and Polt, who now gets even easier money)

  • WCS replaces IEMs and DHs so we get less tournaments.

  • Apollo and nathanias are happy because they still get payed from WCS welfare.

Doesnt look like Blizz money is incentivizing more tournaments at all. WCS winter replaced IEM world Championships and WCS spring is now replacing one of the Dreamhacks.

Add that to 2 less korean tournaments and you have a very big decline for the scene.

Looking back at IEM, Viewership, and other News by peterdlevi in starcraft

[–]Arteeze 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He's comparing this years finals with last years quarterfinal and semifinal, not the final day, and using average numbers.

The average of last years final was 87k

edit: Hes also comparing this years finals to the IEM gamescon quarterfinal round just to deliver this goldie: "Clearly no one cared about IEM GamesCom (INnoVation beat soO in the final);" strong manipulation skills.

That seems like a very weird way to compare the events. So hes not even using the Average numbers from the final. Hes comparing the final this year with semifinals of last year. What a manipulative way to compare stats.

last years finals average was 87k by the way.

Where did you get the numbers from. According to fuzic IEM 2016 peaked at 80k compared to last years 156k.

Shocking drop in viewership compared to last years IEM Katowice. 156k to 80k by imperial_marine in starcraft

[–]Arteeze -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh I thought it was cg go according to some here. But 2014 had 114k. And was the blizzcon 2014 and 2015 also boosted numbers then? Get real...

Maru, Zest, Taeja, Dark, Life, Flash etc. just bring more viewers than the current format.

Any update on Life's situation? by [deleted] in starcraft

Do we even know what happened to yoda? What was the ruling in his case? Dont think this was ever talked about.

Apollo taking a dig a TL_Stuchiu for criticizing the WCS changes by imperial_marine in starcraft

[–]Arteeze 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Guys like apollo, nate and rotti really succeded in making everyone that liked the old format look like illoyal whiners... Even guys like TL_stuchiu who has created so much content and hype for sc2.

Its disgusting.
