what did more damage to sc2, ded gaem or delusional positivity?

A few years ago, I was very invested in SC2 and its health and community. Now, I'm just a fan, someone that watches the semis and finals of big tournaments. It isn't easy being a personality or player or caster in a community filled with complaining and negativity. The atmosphere just weighs heavily on you. It beats you down, it makes you miserable. And when that happens to people that are typically happy and positive in their lives (like some of the personalities), their reaction is simply to cut the negativity out and focus on the good things. This is entirely understandable. I agree some may have went overboard but I really don't blame them, because in the end they are still sticking with SC2 and obviously care about it. When fans feel the decline, they look for sympathy. When they can't find it, they look to make others miserable too. It's just human nature, like someone who had their heart broken watching a couple being super in love in the park. You just hate them. You hate that some other game has an $10+ million prize pool, you hate every time you read an ESPN article about how big esports is getting. Because all that just reminds you that your game doesn't have it. That it's someones fault SC2 doesn't have these nice things and you search for someone to blame. And thus you slowly turn into a ded gaem-er, someone who is irrationally annoyed and angry at others who enjoy SC2 but don't obsess or worry about its problems or potential like you do. Now let me clarify, I don't think people who write about SC2s problems to Blizzard and try to improve the scene are the same as people who are miserable because they're consumed by ded gaem. I think those people who try to get through to Blizzard to improve the game are great, and it really seems like Blizzard is listening more than before. But ultimately I don't think that the decline of SC2 from the top esport was something that could have been drastically changed or reversed by Blizzard listening to every piece of community feedback. It was simply a gaming trend, from RTS to not. All of the top games are team based, they all have faster reward cycles, they are all easier for casuals to follow and get into, etc. StarCraft 2 is never going to be the world dominating esport that people thought it would be. That's the truth, and some people simply can't handle it, and its making the community unbearable. Instead of being happy and just enjoying a great DreamHack Leipzig tournament, they're obsessing over viewer numbers, or arguing about retirements, or complaining about WCS formats. That kind of shit is driving away fans and players. A ded gaemer isn't some edgy truth teller enlightening the uneducated masses about the truth of the state of SC2. Anyone who's still a fan now knows the deal. They don't have their head in the sand pretending things are great, they're just enjoying what they have now. There's really nothing wrong with that.
