For once I agree with Ulti, the HotS situation is incredibly shitty. I got somewhat near competitive level in that game, so I know a few of the competitive people in-person. They had no warning this was coming. One of my favourite players just got signed back onto a team and was really excited. There were people who dropped out of college to pursue their esports dream.

If they had winded this down in a reasonable way like...still done an HGC for 2019 but announced it would be the final HGC I think it would be a lot more reasonable. Like yes, sure, I understand they can't be expected to provide a league infrastructure for a game forever--it's not like they're running Warcraft III tournaments in 2019. But the suddenness of this is really awful.

It also still comes as a surprise to me. The heroes of the storm finals at Blizzcon this year had a packed audience, with loads more people than the hearthstone audience, for example.
