As someone who has been out of the SC2 loop for the last year, is SC2 growing or dying?

Odd place, decline in NA, stable sort or slightly growing depending on the tournament in EU and growing in Kr slightly. Blizzard should go f2p with lotv.
 
What boggles my mind is that I thought F2P was coming. When HOTS launched and they had the choose your skin layout i thought they were laying the groundwork for F2P. Thought they would let you earn a couple skins and then sell the rest of them.

Yeah I thought the same thing when I saw the layout all ready for extra skins. Disappointing that they haven't given us anything extra to unlock yet. There's plenty of different unit skins available to them from the campaigns alone.
 
Proleague vods are up

Watching them now. Soulkey played awful in game 1. He got 2 Colossi for free and still never came close to breaking Stats. He basically all-in'd with the Brood Lords because his macro was so terrible and didn't have a bank to remax into anything if they got killed.
 
That slow, painful death to SKT and maybe Classic's career in game 6 was brutal. He's already fallen so far off of a cliff since winning Code S. I didn't think he would win against TY anyways. I put their loss more on Soulkey than anyone. He was massively ahead in midgame and a good chunk of late game against Stats because of getting 2 Colossi for free but could never break him because his army comp was terrible and his macro was even worse. He was basically on one base for the last 5+ minutes of that game because he went double hatch before pool and waited forever to try to take a 5th which got sniped.

Yeah it's kinda confusing. This final asian qualifier took players from the Korea & Taiwan, Chinese and SEA qualifiers. Top two players from the asian final qualify right into stage 2 of IEM Toronto along with 6 others from the American, Canadian and EU regional qualifiers. And I dunno where the rest of the players come from lol. Open bracket I guess?

Edit: okay, stage 1 of IEM Toronto is open bracket. 4 of those players advance to stage 2 (ro16) to join the 8 regional qualifiers plus 4 invitees (Taeja, MC, sOs, HyuN).

How often has the phrase 'Flash holds!' been uttered? I'm guessing a billion times.

Do you think MC just lives at the ESL studio, and just rolls out from behind the bar when he has to play?
