WoW is dead.
impact? Which impact? Method the only guild that was live streaming the race imo. Thats where it all came together obviously , its a general huge interest in races like these. If Exorsus or Limit was live , theyd pretty much snatch similar numbers. WoW ESports is in good shape and this for a reason. But i -a casual player and no Method fanboy iam also interested in the other top guilds - really dislike the Over Hype around Method especially here on wowhead, Its way too much partnership and sponsorship news and whatnot around one single guild out there. What is next? Put a link to Method Online Shop on wowhead landing page? No word about the asian guilds that did amazing this time.
Not a fan. I think a lot of poor decisions have been made with Blizzard games in order to cater to the e-sports crowd. As someone that doesn't give two @#$%s about e-sports, I view it as a detriment to gaming as whole.
