Me, looking at the OWL contenders leak: Boys, boys, come over to StarCraft 2, it looks dire over there.

the thing about sc2 is it is now mature enough as a game and a community that it only needs Blizz's help and not wholly dependent, I think. OW, in contrast, I feel like if Blizz doesn't hold its hand every step, is gonna crumble.
At this point I dont think SC2 can die anymore, people have already stepped up. If Blizz pulls the plug, it will hurt badly but it will not die. OW doesn't have such a strong backing force though, esp since Blizz killed the endemic scene.

Also supporting/running SC2 tourneys is a whole lot cheaper lol.

Yeah - or, rather - OWL is massively expensive. Multiple player teams with comparatively high guaranteed contracts, big production, moderate and declining viewerships, less mature community (although American OWL fans are great)

Agreed. Starcraft's community is mature and highly self-reliant (cfr.
@TaKeTV). OW is not dead by a longshot but a lot of the casual players, streamers and personalities have moved on. But if Blizzard stops supporting top SC2 esports, it would still be a bad thing. -
That's why I have learned to support and love community tournaments. SC2 love for me is no longer just the big events anymore. All prepared for the (maybe one day) apocalypse. I will survive along with what's left of SC2 and be the real la Cucaracha
