I don't think starcraft 2 or "e-sports" will die per se but rather they got used to big money being thrown around too quickly.
A common problem with the mainstream "e-sports" but I don't think enthusiasts or players are willing to take a step down in production values and prize pots.
Every game needs a solid foundation to their community so that if your game gets picked up by one of the big leagues but then gets dropped it will survive without the money.
I might add it's extremely naive to believe that "e-sports" will replace regular sports in the near future, it's going to take a few more generations as people's attitudes change.
I think the starcraft community should be happy they have a very large community and have these sick events.
This isn't the first time it's happened and it's fucking embarrassing.
Are you saying it's acceptable that a match at an off line event has to be played connected to the internet and thus susceptible to disconnects and issues with the Blizzard servers?
