However Starcraft2 is like the a the new wave of consoles, it will be next-gen, its about bloody time eSports got a kick up the ass, hail to Starcraft2, fail? what blasphemy is this! For me eSports is not in dire need of a new game, it is in need of fresh ideas for its old games, whether that be new maps (de_blue / Ancient Isle) or simply new systems (Road of the King/PGL) as I talked about in my previous column, Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.
Warcraft3 will unfortunately since the WoW plague forever be remembered as “isn’t that the game where you run around doing quests?”, and believe me they ALWAYS seem to have a friend that play World of Warcraft.Ĭarmac does have a point in terms of esports reaching a certain level of stagnation but slump? I don’t think so.
The difference between Warcraft3 and Starcraft is that Starcraft has a reputation outside of eSports, any PC gamer will have heard of Starcraft, probably even played the single player, it is a cult game.
