[Contest]Dear Blizzard - Ideas on How To Improve Growth in My Home Region
Dear Blizzard... Well I am just a Starcraft 2 player from Malaysia which is in SEA region of course... I've played on all 4 servers on Starcraft 2: HOTS, I got my copy of the game in 2011 which is Starcraft 2: WoL at that moment I was able to play on both SEA and US servers before we are able to play on all 4 servers together. To be honest, SEA server really lack of players compared to the other 3 servers... For an example, a match of 2v2 ladder took only about 30 secs to one minute in the US while on the SEA server it's about 1 to 2 minutes or more,and most of my matchups are players from Australia... I am not saying it's bad or anything it's just that I want to have more players from my country as well as my neighbouring countries... why is SEA servers lack of players??? I do have 2 ideas on how can we improve growth in my region...
1) Organize more local tournaments for the SEA server. Online tournaments are not so bad but if we can organize more local tournament, people can get to know more about Starcraft 2 as well as the growth of eSports! As people walk by and watch us competing against each other it stir up the hearts of new players and thus growth on our region.
2) Organize Barcraft in multiple places, the one I know about is during WCS Season 1 Finals... after that there are not any Barcraft organized. I wish Blizzard Entertainment or Starcraft 2 SEA community would organize Barcraft in multiple places so all of the players could meet and watch the tournaments live together. Socialize is one of the important facts on how to grow a community... as more and more players gather together the community grows stonger and larger.
Well these 2 are my ideas on how to improve growth in my region... maybe you guys could share your ideas because together we achieve more on improving the game as well as the community. eSports has been growing rapidly from time to time but it cannot grow by itself... It needs players or people like us to support it. Please do share your ideas on how to improve growth in your region as well... let us make eSports a bigger place for players to meet, enjoy and compete together!!!
My ID in Starcraft 2 is BreakingDawn.250, my race is Terran... anyone who like to play a few match with me can add me... Thx for your time on reading this... 1st timer on forum posting...
Due to not wanting to multiple postage below is my 2nd and 3rd post to Kumo and IronLung ^^ :
Kumo.... That's really a helpful advice... One thing I love about barcraft is players can gather around and watch the tournament together live... Chat with each other and enjoying the gameplay... It's really fun doing so...
Kumo... Barcraft is really a fun place we can go enjoy ourselves and IronLung... I DO AGREE WITH YOU!!!!! We seriously need a BIGGER SC2 scene in Malaysia... The last barcraft organized was at KL... and btw which state are you from???
