Some sadly always gotta hate on the bigger games. I dislike Starcraft strongly, but I think they have good enough casters and personalities to make the scene and community very interesting.
Liked this article a lot, I think many want to strengthen their favorite games presence and community, but feel that they themselves cant give or help a lot. This might be a good thing in encouraging people to do what they believe they can do but never really had the confidence to do within gaming!
It also provided a lot of information and was an all around interesting read, I'm glad you look towards the fighting communities, they are an example of what a niche genre and community can create if you put enough work into it.
