I think it was very good for up&comers, there is not so many tournaments where you can show yourself anymore and practicing for the sole purpose to take part in WCS Qualifiers every 2-3 months is not very viable I think it was very good for up&comers, there is not so many tournaments where you can show yourself anymore and practicing for the sole purpose to take part in WCS Qualifiers every 2-3 months is not very viable Progamer "I am the best" - Nerchio , 2017.

This was the last public tournament series where the brackets never got fixed/seeded to favor certain players. Brackets were always generated at random. It was ran properly. This is where talent developed. What a shame.



Only thing left is the "sports entertainment" style tournaments where brackets are set up in advance and in a way to favor a specific set of players(usually the incrowd). Honestly, this is what killed starcraft. You guys tried to operate as if you were above everyone and you alienated the community. Aside from Rifkin's tournies that is....



And this is why you rarely saw "new blood". The SC2 scene was not ran like a fair-for-all scene. The people in power/influence always tried to make it about popularity and views. That's not what starcraft is about. It's not about who can attract more viewers, the game is about dominating your opponent. For the last 8 years it's been a circlejerk of the same group of people(who also had friends in positions of power/influence in the scene to ensure those people could constantly "have a job"). Ya'll ruined competitive starcraft with your bs politics. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the scene was "rigged" to favor a certain set of individuals. If only you knew what the word "community" meant.



Anywho, angry rant aside, It's a shame. GO4SC2 was the original sc2 tournament series, or one of them(zotac was another).

I think Go4 hasn't been too big of a tournament lately.

Alas, it was mostly fun to watch and a good start for upcoming new pros.

No, it's not a joke. Read my words literally, as "it's not like Blizzard is dropping sc2".
