Don't be so chicken little about this. The sky isn't falling, and there are MANY other competitive players who you haven't mentioned that still play a lot. As long as the next tier of players (Hut, Petrify, Pezz, Jazbas, Satu Ninja poker etc are all still vying to take places of the other 5-6 pro's then the scene is fine. Chances are you just don't know these players, so relax and know the sea scene is still pretty stronk, even if our server isnt

I think Ruined said it best.

By dying you mean we're seeing PiG fly to ASUS ROG, Dreamhack. Iaguz going to IEM Shanghai. Maynarde casting next to Apollo

? Various players going to MLG? And a $13,000 StarCraft 2 Tournament with Business Class Flights in Hong Kong for the first time? Sadly, many old faces are starting to fade, but as someone else said, this is not the end at all. It's just a new beginning for SEA.

Definitely true

SEA server has literally no advantages over any other server. If it had started as a server with low ping for Aussies then pros would have had a lot more incentive to play there. But instead we have tournaments on SEA occasionally and then the entire community migrating to KR or NA. I've said this before but basically when those tip top players switch server then the next level down become the best on the server, all of a sudden they need better competition (the pros better than them are gone to NA/KR). Then they leave and then it happens again, and again and then we're left with what we've got right now. Now keep in mind this doesn't happen on EU and NA because the ping difference is so key, a lot of players prefer practicing on good ping against good players than bad ping against great players. On top of this SEA rarely has the cool arcade games that for example NA might have so socially it sucks too.

That's why a site like this is so cool is that all the sea players are still connected despite being all over the place in game. Basically, there is no incentive to play SEA, at all. Longer queues, worse players, equal or worse ping, no customs, and so on.

just join sc2sea chat channel on any other server, there's usually people on it..

I would say SEA is flourishing, if anything. We have not only playing but casting and observing talent overseas now. Our tip top players are finally getting their names out internationally and we're more or less only being seen as having the "joke server", not the joke region. Esports groups are popping up everywhere as well as new talent in all areas (event management, casting, playing,..) so there are more local tournaments to come on top of what we already have established.

In my opinion, SEA only seems quieter because it's finally linking up with the rest of the world, and that has encouraged everyone to branch out and explore the other servers. Sure, we lost some big names along the way but that's to be expected. Not everyone can keep their passion alive and not everyone can afford to put real life on hold indefinitely in the hopes of big success. If you're dying for a bigger sense of community, be proactive and join a clan and or create some new way for people who feel the same as you to connect.

SC2 is in no way shape or form dying. I don't know why people keep ringing alarm bells like that. Know what other game was "dying" since 3 years ago? World of WarCraft. It lost 1.3 mil subscribers in 3 months and now sits roughly 4 million down from its peak . Guess which game is still not dead? World of WarCraft. The same deal will go for StarCraft.
