On the one hand, he kind of put all his eggs in one basket by dropping school before he was established as an esports player, but on the other hand fuck Blizzard.

HOTS isn't doing well financially so they're cancelling all the tournaments and a bunch of planned content and putting the game on coast. Basically the game is dying so they're done shoving money into it.

they put out a blog post yesterday saying they're taking a bunch of lead devs from the HoTS team and putting them to work on other stuff.

then they say the esports scene for hots is canceled.

interesting. I tried it a year or two ago, and it never really seemed that good imo. I dont play these types of games, but DOTA2 seemed like it was a lot better from what i played of the two

Eh... it's a PR thing. The general complaint is that none of the pro teams were informed that they were even considering the move, giving people no time to pivot. Sort of like a company going under without telling employees so they have time to secure a new job before being unemployed.

That being said, it's also silly to expect a company to continue to support a failing product because some kid made poor life decisions and is now putting literally everything on the line over it.

HotS wasn't doing well but it could have done better. It hasn't had a lead developer in a while and it just needed a good hand to steer it. There was a good game that could have had good monetization in there somewhere if they dug into it.

HotS was definitely my MOBA of choice, so I'm disappointed with the news.

game's pretty enjoyable but only if you actually have access to stuff.

the biggest mistake with the game is that each individual hero comes with a price tag instead of just focusing on skins/announcers etc.

This is my thoughts as well.

"I dropped out of school to play 8-10 hours a day" is fringe as fuck as it is, but why should I hate Blizzard for not supporting these clowns by dumping money into a game they can't profit from?

People need to realize that esports with companies like we have today isn't viable in any sort of monetary way.

They're a business, not a charity. They got to make money.

Blizzard has officially lost its luster of being a gamer company and is now just a game company. It's a shame. Gabe shoulda bought them and made Blizzard/Valve to just make us happy, like a charity

I was referring to esports players making money via the Blizzard scheme. Not happening.
